The program also identified high-grade gold at the Flores target \(up to 28.8 g/t Au\) and notable copper mineralization at the Stega zone \(up to 24.8% Cu\). Reasoning: Surface sampling results successfully extended the known strike of the Dragonfly target and identified new high-grade zones at Flores and Stega. - Positive factor: Significant strike extension at Dragonfly target - Positive factor: High-grade gold intercepts at Flores target - Positive factor: Strong copper mineralization at Stega zone - Positive factor: Polymetallic signatures at Soda Ridge Facts used in scoring: 9 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: New high-grade rock samples extend the Dragonfly target 480m to the south. Evidence · text > extend the Dragonfly target 480m to the south **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: Release details insertion of coarse blanks and certified assay standards at a 5% rate. Evidence · text > insertion of coarse blanks and certified assay standards into the sample string at a rate of approximately 1/20 \(5%\) ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 9.

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.
