Hole H26D-6175A returned 19.6 meters at 30.49 g/t gold and 1,726.72 g/t silver, including a high-grade 1.7m sub-interval. Reasoning: The intercept H26D-6175A represents a record-breaking gold and silver grade for the company, significantly extending the known footprint of the Vortex system. - Positive factor: highest-grade intercept reported in the Company's history - Positive factor: extends mineralization farther to the west and south - Positive factor: visible gold present in the intercept - Positive factor: silver-equivalent grade is more than 50% higher than previous best hole Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The 1.7m interval at 347.07 g/t gold is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > 347.07 g/t gold **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The intercept extends the mineralization farther to the west and south of previously reported intercepts. Evidence · text > This intercept extends farther to the west and south of previously reported high-grade gold and silver intercepts ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
