Following these results, the company is launching a Feasibility Study to evaluate a high-margin Direct-Ship Ore \(DSO\) operation at the Scottie Gold Mine Project. Reasoning: The successful Phase 2 ore sorting study provides high confidence in the Direct-Ship Ore \(DSO\) strategy, which significantly de-risks the project economics by potentially eliminating the need for a conventional mill. - Positive factor: Successful Phase 2 ore sorting study - Positive factor: High gold recovery \(82-92%\) via XRT - Positive factor: Launch of Feasibility Study - Positive factor: DSO strategy reduces CAPEX and environmental footprint - Negative factor: Resource is currently 100% Inferred Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **High Recovery** Polarity: positive Definition: Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route. Why it applies: XRT recovery of 82% to 92% is very strong for ore sorting technology. Evidence · text > XRT sorter can recover 82% to 92% of the gold **All Inferred** Polarity: negative Definition: 100% of resource is Inferred category — very early stage, no engineering confidence. Why it applies: The reported resource is 100% in the Inferred category. Evidence · text > 703,000 gold ounces at an average grade of 6.1 g/t \(Inferred category\) **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive 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: Dr. Thomas Mumford, P.Geo., a qualified person, has reviewed and approved the technical information. Evidence · text > Dr. Thomas Mumford, P.Geo... a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

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.
