The company also confirmed the expansion of near-surface mineralization across 550m at the Saddle Zone, all within the existing resource pit shell. Reasoning: Strong high-grade intercepts at Blackjack and significant strike expansion at Saddle Zone, which is within the existing pit shell, providing clear resource upside. - Positive factor: High-grade intercept at Blackjack \(9.46 g/t Au\) - Positive factor: Expansion of mineralization at Saddle Zone \(550m strike\) - Positive factor: Step-out success at Eiger extending towards Saddle - Positive factor: Mineralization located within existing pit shell at Saddle Facts used in scoring: 7 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling at Eiger \(hole 139\) expands known mineralization west towards the Blackjack deposit. Evidence · text > expanding known gold mineralization west towards the Blackjack deposit **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 details specific QA/QC protocols including blanks, standards, and duplicates, and names ALS Laboratories. Evidence · text > Standard reference materials, blanks and duplicate samples were inserted by Sitka personnel **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The 6.0m intercept at 9.46 g/t gold in hole 133 is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > 6.0 m of 9.46 g/t gold ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 7.
