The hole intersected two high-grade VMS zones totaling 27.6m, featuring multiple copper equivalent intercepts exceeding 3% Cu-Eq. Reasoning: The hole DDH WD-26-11 returned exceptionally high copper equivalent grades over significant widths, including a 4.30% Cu-Eq intercept, which is well above the 75th percentile for VMS deposits. - Positive factor: High grade copper equivalent intercepts - Positive factor: Significant width of mineralization - Positive factor: Exceeds VMS deposit type norms Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 4.30% Cu-Eq exceeds the exceptional threshold for VMS copper. Evidence · text > 4.30% CU-EQ Over 5.0M **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 is explicitly titled 'CERTIFIED DRILL RESULTS'. Evidence · text > CERTIFIED DRILL RESULTS ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.

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.
