The results, including a significant 864 ft intercept in hole YM-047A, will be used to update the mineral resource estimate for an upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study. Reasoning: Successful step-out drilling at Yerington Pit has extended the known mineralized footprint and provides data for a resource upgrade to support an upcoming PFS. - Positive factor: Step-out drilling extended the mineralized footprint - Positive factor: High-quality QA/QC disclosure including certified lab and QP sign-off - Positive factor: Drilling supports resource classification upgrade \(Inferred to Indicated\) - Negative factor: Grades are relatively low \(0.23% TCu\) typical of large-scale porphyry systems Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling at YM-047A and YM-048 extended the mineralized footprint compared to the PEA. Evidence · text > discovered an extension of the mineralized footprint compared to what was presented in the PEA **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 lab \(Skyline\), methods \(blanks, standards\), and QP sign-off. Evidence · text > Commercially prepared certified reference materials and blanks were inserted by the Company ## 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.
