Key highlights include a 141.5 m intercept at 1.93 g/t gold at Blackjack and the expansion of near-surface mineralization across 550 m at the Saddle Zone. Reasoning: Strong drill results across multiple zones \(Blackjack, Saddle, Eiger\) showing both depth continuity and strike expansion, potentially connecting two major deposits. - Positive factor: high-grade intercepts at depth - Positive factor: expansion of near-surface mineralization - Positive factor: step-out success at Eiger - Positive factor: continuity of high-grade zones Facts used in scoring: 11 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Step-out drilling at Eiger returned strong gold values, expanding known mineralization west. Evidence · text > Step-out drilling at Eiger returned strong gold values such as 30.5 m of 1.46 g/t gold **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 use of standards, blanks, and duplicates, and names ALS as the accredited lab. 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: 6.0 m at 9.46 g/t gold is a high-grade intercept. Evidence · text > 6.0 m of 9.46 g/t gold ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 11.
