Highlights include 1.16 g/t gold over 41.0 metres, including 2.54 g/t gold over 13.0 metres, from shallow oxide mineralization at the Boin Gold Deposit. These results are intended to support future mine plan optimization and resource growth, with the company noting the potential for converting inferred mineralization to indicated. Reasoning: The drilling campaign delivered multiple significant gold intercepts, including high-grade zones, near-surface and outside existing pit limits, supporting future resource and reserve growth. The results are new and not yet incorporated into the resource estimate. - Positive factor: high\_grade\_intercepts - Positive factor: wide\_intercepts - Positive factor: shallow\_mineralization - Positive factor: potential\_for\_reserve\_growth - Positive factor: infill\_drilling\_for\_resource\_conversion - Positive factor: step\_out\_drilling - Negative factor: apparent\_width\_only - Negative factor: compositing\_parameters\_undisclosed Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 9 ## 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 includes QA/QC disclosure for blanks, standards, and duplicates. Evidence · text > Analytical quality assurance and quality control procedures include the systematic insertion of blanks, standards and duplicates into the sample strings. **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: Qualified Person Mr. Gregory Smith, P. Geo, reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information. Evidence · text > Mr. Gregory Smith, P. Geo, Vice President of Exploration at Newcore, is a Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101. Mr. Smith has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news release **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: Intervals are reported as hole lengths with true width estimated as a percentage, not a specific value. Evidence · text > Intervals reported are hole lengths with true width estimated to be 75 - 85% **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling focused on shallow step out holes to expand mineralization. Evidence · text > This drilling focused on shallow step out holes within the north sector at Boin **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: Drilling included infill holes for resource conversion. Evidence · text > The completed first phase of the drill program was infill drilling for resource conversion **Cut-off Undisclosed** Polarity: negative Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing. Why it applies: The cut-off grade used for compositing reported intervals is not disclosed. Evidence · text > Length-weighted averages from uncut assays. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 9.

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.
