The 2026 campaign identified new showings and extended known mineralized zones associated with monzonite dykes and IP anomalies. Reasoning: Discovery of high-grade copper \(26.8%\) and silver \(238 g/t\) in grab samples, extending known mineralization. - Positive factor: High-grade copper intercepts in grab samples - Positive factor: Extension of known mineralized zones - Positive factor: Association with monzonite dykes and IP anomalies - Negative factor: Results are from grab samples which are selective and not representative Facts used in scoring: 6 ## 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 use of standards and blanks for every 20 samples and Actlabs laboratory. Evidence · text > use of standards and blanks for every 20 samples **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Samples confirm extension of mineralized zones associated with monzonite dykes over 150 metres. Evidence · text > extend the mineralized zones associated with monzonite dykes over a distance of 150 metres ## 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.
