The program intersected wide zones of low-grade gold with higher-grade internal sections, expanding the known mineralised envelope and providing vectors for future exploration. The company also highlighted high-grade historical results and recent surface samples from nearby prospects, with follow-up drilling planned. Reasoning: The announcement reports new drill results that confirm broad, low-grade gold mineralisation with higher-grade internal zones, expanding the known footprint at Jubilee South. While the new grades are not exceptional, they provide useful vectors for follow-up drilling. High-grade historical results and surface samples from nearby prospects highlight the overall potential of the project. QA/QC is disclosed, but the lack of true width information and some poor core recovery introduce uncertainty. - Positive factor: Broad gold mineralisation intersected, expanding the known footprint - Positive factor: Presence of higher-grade internal zones provides vectors for future targeting - Positive factor: High-grade historical results and surface samples indicate strong potential - Positive factor: QA/QC procedures are disclosed and a Competent Person has signed off - Negative factor: Reported drill intercepts are downhole lengths, true widths are not known - Negative factor: Recovery was poor in parts of some principal composites, potentially affecting grade representativeness - Negative factor: New drill results are generally low-grade, with higher grades only in sub-intervals - Negative factor: Exceptional historic underground channel grades were not replicated at the tested positions Facts used in scoring: 33 ## 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 includes detailed QA/QC disclosure in JORC Table 1, mentioning certified lab \(SGS Waihi\), Competent Person sign-off \(Mr Peter Zitnan\), and methods like blanks, standards, and laboratory repeats. Evidence · text > The information in this Report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Peter Zitnan, who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists \(AIG\) and Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy \(AusIMM\). **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The document explicitly states that 'All intervals are downhole lengths and true widths are not known' and 'The geometry and continuity of individual mineralized structures are not sufficiently constrained to determine true widths'. Evidence · text > All intervals are downhole lengths and true widths are not known. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The drilling program was designed to test the 'southern continuation of the historic Jubilee vein system towards the Sovereign prospect'. Evidence · text > TGW011–TGW014 drillholes were drilled to test the southern continuation of the historic Jubilee vein system towards the Sovereign prospect **Compositing Transparent** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals. Why it applies: The document states that 'Composites were calculated as length-weighted averages of original Au assays' and 'each reported main composite has an average grade of at least 0.20g/t Au. Higher-grade internal intervals are shown as ‘including’'. Evidence · text > Composites were calculated as length-weighted averages of original Au assays. Main composite boundaries were selected using logged mineralization/alteration and continuous assay coverage; all intervening assays were included and each reported main composite has an average grade of at least 0.20g/t Au. Higher-grade internal intervals are shown as ‘including’. **Cut-off Disclosed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison. Why it applies: The document explicitly states that 'each reported main composite has an average grade of at least 0.20g/t Au'. Evidence · text > each reported main composite has an average grade of at least 0.20g/t Au **Stale Data Re-release** Polarity: negative Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty. Why it applies: The document re-reports historical drill results from the Sovereign prospect, explicitly stating they were 'drilled between 1991 and 2003 by Coeur and Cyprus Gold NZ' and referencing a prior ASX announcement from July 2026. Evidence · text > Historical drilling at Sovereign delivered significant high-grade assays which in some cases remain open in strike and dip with results including: ➢ ML2 15.0m @ 4.40g/t Au from 69m, incl, 5m @ 6.72g/t Au, no recovery due to void from 67 to 69m **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: Surface sample TGR0251 returned 32.5 g/t Au, which is well above the exceptional threshold for gold \(5 g/t\) in an epithermal deposit. Evidence · text > TGR0251: mullock; E 1,843,258; N 5,858,342; RL 330 m; quartz-veined mullock; 32.5 g/t Au. **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: Surface sample TGR0252 returned 20.1 g/t Au, which is well above the exceptional threshold for gold \(5 g/t\) in an epithermal deposit. Evidence · text > TGR0252: outcrop; E 1,843,260; N 5,858,352; RL 333 m; 40 cm silicified andesite, stockworked host with chalcedonic vein; 20.1 g/t Au. **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The project is explicitly positioned as being 'only 8km west of OceanaGold’s Waihi Gold Mine \(+12Moz Au\), and 4.5km directly along strike from OceanaGold’s 2.2Moz @ 14.3g/t Au WKP deposit'. Evidence · text > The Waitekauri Gold Project, which includes the historic Jubilee Gold Mine, is located near Waihi on New Zealand’s North Island, only 8km west of OceanaGold’s Waihi Gold Mine \(+12Moz Au\), and 4.5km directly along strike from OceanaGold’s 2.2Moz @ 14.3g/t Au WKP deposit. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 33.

Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "mineralsexploration.com.au 23 September 2026 Waitekauri Gold Project Broad Gold Mineralisation Intersected in Second- St" ### Fact 33 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/mex-broad-gold-mineralisation-intersected-at-jubilee-south--ed03c5e7-9a81-4519-89e9-b56bbda0145b#fact-drill-facts-32) Waitekauri Gold Project · gold #### Identity - Project: Waitekauri Gold Project - Commodity: gold - Region: new zealand's north island - Reported Region: New Zealand's North Island - Ticker: MEX #### Geometry - Grade: 0.07 - Grade Unit: g/t #### Classification - Sample Type: surface #### Location - Location: Joe’s Track prospect - Easting: 1843262 - Northing: 5858343 - CRS: NZGD2000 / NZTM2000 - Elevation: 331 m - Loc.

Status: scored - Historical: No #### Dates - Event date: 2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: This very low gold grade from a reconnaissance surface sample is not material and indicates limited potential in this specific sample. As a grab sample, it is not representative of bulk mineralisation and requires further work. - Positive factor: New information from recent sampling - Negative factor: Very low gold grade for a surface sample - Negative factor: Surface grab sample, not representative of width or bulk mineralisation - Negative factor: Early-stage exploration, requires follow-up drilling Evidence · text > TGR0255: mullock; E 1,843,262; N 5,858,343; RL 331 m; massive crystalline quartz-vein mullock; 0.07 g/t Au. #### Tags used in scoring **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

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.
