Results included up to 279 g/t silver and 5.82% copper at the Main Zone, alongside the identification of new mineralized targets. Reasoning: First-ever systematic exploration program at Yava returned high-grade silver and copper samples and identified new targets, demonstrating significant exploration potential in an underexplored VMS system. - Positive factor: High-grade polymetallic grab samples at Yava Main Zone - Positive factor: Identification of new mineralized occurrences at four EM targets - Positive factor: First systematic exploration in five decades - Negative factor: No QA/QC disclosure for the grab samples - Negative factor: Grab samples are selective and may not represent average grades Facts used in scoring: 5 ## 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: The document explicitly states that no certified reference materials, blanks or field duplicates were inserted into the sample sequence. Evidence · text > no certified reference materials, blanks or field duplicates were inserted into the sample sequence **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: The company explicitly states that no blanks, standards, or duplicates were used in the sample sequence. Evidence · text > no certified reference materials, blanks or field duplicates were inserted into the sample sequence ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5.

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.
