The program also identified antimony mineralization, potentially providing a second revenue stream. While results are encouraging, 33 of the 40 completed holes are still awaiting assay results. Reasoning: Drill results show expansion of oxide gold mineralization both inside and outside the existing 2026 MRE pit-shell, alongside the discovery of antimony. - Positive factor: Step-Out Extension - Positive factor: Expansion inside pit-shell - Positive factor: Presence of second metal \(antimony\) - Negative factor: Assays pending for majority of holes - Negative factor: No updated MRE issued yet Facts used in scoring: 5 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: LB26-007 Lower returned mineralization outside of the 2026 MRE pit-shell.
