The intercept of 5.12 g/t gold and 33.04 g/t silver over 9.23 metres confirms the continuation of mineralization at depth below the initial discovery hole. Reasoning: The intercept confirms the extension of the Goofy Vein at depth with solid grades \(5.12 g/t Au\) and includes robust QA/QC disclosure. - Positive factor: continuation of mineralization at depth - Positive factor: high-grade gold-silver intercept - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed Facts used in scoring: 10 ## Classification and evidence **True Width Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length. Why it applies: The document states the true width of the vein is estimated to be 4.00m. Evidence · text > True width of vein estimated to be 4.00m **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release details the use of certified reference materials, blanks, and field duplicates, and names an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab. Evidence · text > includes the routine insertion of certified reference materials, blank samples and field duplicates **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The 0.60m sub-interval at 21.33 g/t Au is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · table > 21.33 Context: 0.60 ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 10.
