The program successfully infilled and extended mineralization, highlighted by hole K-26-303 intersecting 41.7 metres of 0.40% copper and 0.67 g/t gold \(1.13% CuEq\) from 72.6 metres. These results reinforce the company's strategy to improve resource quality and confidence, with further drilling planned to upgrade and expand mineral resources. Reasoning: Initial drill results from the 2026 program at Kwanika North Pit Extension confirm and extend copper-gold mineralization with good intercept lengths and disclosed true widths, supporting future resource upgrades, though grades are moderate compared to historical project highs. - Positive factor: True Width Disclosed - Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed - Positive factor: QP/CP Signed - Positive factor: Metal Equivalent Assumptions Disclosed - Positive factor: Step-Out Extension - Positive factor: Infill Drilling - Positive factor: Good Intercept Lengths - Negative factor: Grades below project historical average for gold and copper Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 40 ## Classification and evidence **True Width Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length. Why it applies: The document provides estimated true widths for all reported intercepts in 'Table 1: Drill Results in this News Release', such as '40.2' m for the 41.7 m intercept in K-26-303. Evidence · table > 40.2 Context: 41.7 **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 document includes a dedicated 'Quality Assurance / Quality Control' section detailing sample collection, external QA/QC program using blanks and standards, laboratory used \(Actlabs\), and analytical methods. Evidence · text > Quality Assurance / Quality Control Drilling at Kwanika in 2026 was designed and supervised by NorthWest and implemented by InData Geoscience with assay QA/QC checks by Explore Geosolutions. Samples were collected, tracked and an external QA/QC program was implemented using coarse blanks and certified prepared blanks and standards to monitor analytical accuracy and precision. **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: The news release states that 'Technical aspects of this news release have been reviewed, verified, and approved by Geoff Chinn, P.Geo., VP Business Development and Exploration for NorthWest, who is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101'. Evidence · text > Technical aspects of this news release have been reviewed, verified, and approved by Geoff Chinn, P.Geo., VP Business Development and Exploration for NorthWest, who is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. **Metal Equivalent Opaque** Polarity: negative Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used. Why it applies: The document explicitly discloses the metal prices and recoveries used for the CuEq calculation in footnote 2. Evidence · text > CuEq assumes metal prices of $3,100/oz gold, $4.50/lb copper, $36/oz silver and $1,100/oz palladium metal recoveries of 96% gold, 90% copper, 96% silver, 0% palladium **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The program objective included 'extending mineralization' in the North Pit Extension Zone, and holes like K-26-303 'successfully extended higher-grade mineralization to the north and up-dip'. Evidence · text > The first four holes reported from the approximately 40-hole program were drilled along a section at the southern end of the North Pit Extension Zone and focused on infill drilling and extending mineralization. **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The program's stated objective was to 'focus on infill drilling and extending mineralization' in the North Pit Extension Zone, and holes were designed to 'improve confidence in the mineralization by reducing drill hole spacing'. Evidence · text > The first four holes reported from the approximately 40-hole program were drilled along a section at the southern end of the North Pit Extension Zone and focused on infill drilling and extending mineralization. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 40.

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.
