The results include a significant 41.7 metre intercept of 0.40% Cu and 0.67 g/t Au in hole K-26-303, supporting the extension of mineralization in the North Pit Extension Zone. Reasoning: Initial results from a 40-hole program successfully infill and extend mineralization, with a notable high-grade copper-gold intercept. - Positive factor: Significant intercept of 41.7m at 0.40% Cu and 0.67 g/t Au - Positive factor: Successful extension of mineralization in the North Pit Extension Zone - Positive factor: Infill drilling confirmed continuity of higher-grade gold-dominant mineralization - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and lab certification \(ISO 17025\) clearly disclosed - Negative factor: One hole \(K-26-312\) reported no core recovery between 66 and 69 metres Facts used in scoring: 40 ## 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 detailed QA/QC procedures, including use of blanks, standards, and a secondary laboratory for check assays. Evidence · text > 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 **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The results from hole K-26-304 are described as extending mineralization. Evidence · text > The hole intersected 16 metres of near-surface copper dominant low-grade mineralization that can be correlated to adjacent sections, thereby extending mineralization. **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The program is explicitly described as infill and extension drilling. Evidence · text > Initial results from four holes infill and extend mineralization in the North Pit Extension Zone ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 40.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated ## How Atlas produces this analysis Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. 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.
