Why it applies: no cutoff_grade was stated

Infill Drillingneutral

Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: drill_program_type is "mixed"

Nearology Playneutral

Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "NEITHER TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE NOR ITS REGULATION SERVICES PROVIDER (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN POLICIES OF THE TSX VENTUR"

Apparent Width OnlyRejected · negative

Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Reason: Reported widths are drilled lengths; true thicknesses of mineralization are currently unknown.

QA/QC DisclosedRejected · positive

Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods (blanks, standards, duplicates).

Reason: The release mentions QA/QC procedures including certified assay standards and blanks, and the analytical work was performed by an accredited laboratory (ALS) with QP sign-off.

Bonanza InterceptRejected · positive

Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Reason: The intercept of 83.82m at 3.40 g/t Au yields a grade-thickness product of 284.99 g/t*m, which is above the exceptional threshold of 300 g/t*m for gold, and the grade of 3.40 g/t Au is above the exceptional threshold of 3 g/t Au for open-pit gold deposits.

Step-Out ExtensionRejected · positive

Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.
