While geological indicators are positive at the Kliyul M39 target, assay results for the 2026 programs are still pending. Reasoning: The release reports successful completion of drilling programs with significant continuous mineralization at RDP, though specific assay grades for the new holes are pending. It also provides a restatement of the Kliyul KMZ resource. - Positive factor: continuous mineralization confirmed at RDP - Positive factor: significant intercept length at RDP - Positive factor: geological similarities at Kliyul M39 target to KMZ resource - Negative factor: no assay results reported for 2026 drilling - Negative factor: no metallurgical testing completed on Kliyul or RDP Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

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.
