The infill drilling, part of a 40,000m program, is aimed at refining the geological model ahead of a planned resource update in Q4 FY27. Reasoning: Strong high-grade lead-silver intercepts reported from infill drilling, supporting a planned Q4 FY27 resource update and mid-2027 PFS. - Positive factor: Strong lead and silver grades reported - Positive factor: Infill drilling supporting upcoming resource update - Positive factor: True width disclosed for several intercepts - Positive factor: Extension of mineralisation towards northern end Facts used in scoring: 11 ## Classification and evidence **True Width Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length. Why it applies: Several intercepts include estimated true widths \(e.g., 8.5m, 3.2m, 5.6m\). Evidence · text > with an estimated true width of 8.5m **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The 533 g/t silver intercept is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > 533g/t silver **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The document explicitly states infill drilling is being conducted to target resource confidence. Evidence · text > Infill drilling is targeting resource confidence across the deposit ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 11.

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.
