Rock-chip sampling returned grades up to 60% CaF2, suggesting a potential 1.5km mineralised corridor linking the Horseshoe and Big Jim targets. Reasoning: Discovery of high-grade fluorspar outcrops at a new target \(North Horseshoe Canyon\) that potentially links two existing priority targets, significantly expanding the prospective corridor. - Positive factor: High-grade rock-chip assays \(up to 60% CaF2\) - Positive factor: Identification of a new target corridor \(1.5km\) - Positive factor: Mineralisation outcrops over 100m strike length - Positive factor: Potential to link existing targets \(Horseshoe and Big Jim\) - Negative factor: Thickness cannot be determined due to talus cover - Negative factor: Results are from reconnaissance rock-chip sampling, not drill intercepts Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The discovery identifies a new target \(North Horseshoe Canyon\) that extends the known mineralised system and links existing targets.

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.
