The samples yielded lithium oxide grades as high as 2.79%, demonstrating the potential for additional tonnage within the property. Reasoning: Strong lithium grades \(up to 2.79% Li2O\) from surface sampling of new pegmatite dikes, providing potential for tonnage expansion. - Positive factor: High lithium grades in surface samples - Positive factor: Discovery of additional spodumene-bearing dikes - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with SGS laboratory - Negative factor: Surface sampling only \(chip/grab\) - Negative factor: Historical resource estimate mentioned but not part of new results Facts used in scoring: 12 ## 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 mentions analysis at SGS Laboratory, Lakefield Ontario using sodium peroxide fusion and ICP-AES/ICP-MS. Evidence · text > All samples were analyzed at SGS Laboratory, Lakefield Ontario. **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The results are from surface chip and grab sampling, not drilling. Evidence · text > recent surface sampling of three of these large, secondary, spodumene-bearing pegmatite dikes ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 12.
