The hole is described as the best to date, demonstrating significant mineralization continuity and extending the deposit footprint beyond the previous conceptual pit shell. Reasoning: Hole 93 produced multiple high-grade, wide lithium intercepts, including a 403.7m interval that extends the deposit footprint beyond the previous resource model's pit shell. - Positive factor: exceptional grade and width - Positive factor: continuity demonstrated at depth - Positive factor: extension beyond conceptual pit shell - Positive factor: best hole to date Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The 403.7m interval occurs outside of the conceptual pit shell area from the April-2026 MRE. Evidence · text > occurring outside of the conceptual pit shell area that comprised the April-2026 Mineral Resource Estimate **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 details the use of blanks, standards, and duplicates, and mentions a QP review. Evidence · text > Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials \(CRMs\) ## 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.
