The results include a 48.8m intercept at 0.83 g/t Au Eq and a 45.7m intercept at 0.64 g/t Au Eq, showing continuity with adjacent drilling. Reasoning: Drill results confirm the northern extent of mineralization at West Santa Fe with good continuity and shallow oxide intercepts. - Positive factor: Step-Out Extension - Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed - Positive factor: excellent continuity with adjacent Lahontan drilling Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **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 includes detailed QA/QC protocols, including blanks, CRMs, and duplicate sampling. Evidence · text > Lahontan conducts an industry standard QA/QC program for its core and RC drilling programs. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling confirms the northern extent of mineralization at West Santa Fe. Evidence · text > The drill results reported today confirm the northern extent of precious metal mineralization at West Santa Fe ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.

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.
