The program intersected visible antimony mineralization in 9 of the 11 holes, including a locally massive stibnite vein in hole ALTW-26-006, with assay results expected later this fall. Reasoning: The program successfully confirmed the presence of antimony-bearing minerals through visual inspection across most holes, providing a positive first subsurface look, though actual grades remain unverified by assay. - Positive factor: Visible antimony mineralization in 9 of 11 holes - Positive factor: Locally massive stibnite encountered in ALTW-26-006 - Positive factor: First subsurface view of the Alps-Alturas shear zone - Negative factor: Geochemical assays are still pending - Negative factor: Visual confirmation is not a substitute for analytical results Facts used in scoring: 2 ## 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: The release mentions QA/QC samples were inserted and core was submitted to AGAT and ALS. Evidence · text > appropriate quality assurance/quality control \(“ QA/QC ”\) samples inserted into the sample stream **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: While QA/QC procedures are mentioned, actual assay results are pending, so the quality of the mineralized intercepts cannot yet be verified. Evidence · text > Geochemical assays are pending ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

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.
