The samples include intercepts as high as 180 g/t Au and 998 g/t Ag, targeting historical high-grade chimney zones. Reasoning: High-grade channel sampling results \(up to 180 g/t Au\) in a known historical mining area, supported by clear QA/QC disclosure. - Positive factor: Bonanza Intercept - Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed Facts used in scoring: 16 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 180 g/t Au and 998 g/t Ag are exceptionally high grades. Evidence · text > 180 g/t \(5.8 oz/t\) Au, 998 g/t \(32 oz/t\) Ag **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 details lab \(ALS\), standards, blanks, and duplicates. Evidence · text > A standard, a blank and a field duplicate were inserted after every 20 samples ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 16.
