Through core relogging and resampling, the company identified significant oxide copper intersections in holes DDATL21-002 and DDATL21-004. Reasoning: The release identifies significant oxide copper intersections through resampling and core relogging, suggesting a 3km strike extension to known mineralization. - Positive factor: strike extension potential - Positive factor: identification of oxide copper zones - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed - Negative factor: historical data being re-validated - Negative factor: widely spaced drilling Facts used in scoring: 10 ## 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 mentions blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials. Evidence · text > Blank, duplicate core or certified gold and copper reference materials were inserted **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Company claims potential to extend Planalto resource along strike by 3km. Evidence · text > demonstrate potential to extend the Planalto resource along strike to the southeast ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 10.

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.
