These results confirm mineralization within a massive sulphide unit traced over 200 meters and validate historic trench mineralization, advancing two priority target areas towards drill-ready status. The company is integrating new data with historical information to define drill targets for a planned maiden diamond drill program by Q4 2026. Reasoning: South Pacific Metals reported very high-grade copper, gold, and silver from new surface rock chip samples, confirming significant mineralization and advancing new drill targets at its Kili Teke project. While the resource is historical and inferred, the new exploration results are highly encouraging for future drilling. - Positive factor: High-grade copper, gold, and silver from new surface rock chip samples, including 12.8% Cu, 0.30 g/t Au, and 104 g/t Ag. - Positive factor: Confirmation of mineralization within a massive sulphide unit traced over 200 meters, indicating significant exploration potential. - Positive factor: Advancement of two priority target areas towards drill-ready status, with a planned maiden diamond drill program by Q4 2026. - Positive factor: Validation of historic trench mineralization by new sampling, supporting continuity of known mineralized zones. - Positive factor: Technical information reviewed and approved by a Qualified Person, and QA/QC procedures disclosed for new samples. - Negative factor: Surface rock chip samples are selective in nature and may not be representative of overall mineralization. - Negative factor: True widths for historical drill intercepts are not known, limiting their geological interpretation. - Negative factor: The stated Mineral Resource is entirely in the Inferred category and is historical \(effective November 2022\), indicating early-stage confidence. - Negative factor: No direct comparison to prior drill results for the same project is available in RAG comparables. Facts used in scoring: 63 ## 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 release explicitly states the company's procedures for inserting certified reference materials \(standards\), blanks, and duplicates to monitor laboratory performance. Evidence · text > The Company's procedures require the insertion of two certified reference materials \(standards\), one blank and one duplicate within each batch of 100 samples to monitor laboratory performance. **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: The technical information in the news release has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Darren Holden, a 'Qualified Person' as defined under National Instrument 43-101. Evidence · text > The technical and scientific information relating to exploration in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Darren Holden, B.Sc. \(Hons\), Ph.D., FAusIMM, a technical advisor and consultant to the Company and a "Qualified Person" as defined under National Instrument 43-101. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The current exploration program is confirming historic work and identifying mineralised target zones outside the current mineral resource envelope. Evidence · text > The Company's current exploration program is confirming historic work and identifying mineralised target zones outside the current mineral resource envelope **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The rock chip sample E50301 returned 12.8% Cu, which is exceptionally high for a porphyry copper deposit \(threshold >=0.8%\). Evidence · table > 12.80 Context: E50301 **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: For historical drill intersections, the document explicitly states that 'All intervals are downhole lengths; true widths are not known.' Evidence · text > All intervals are downhole lengths; true widths are not known. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 63.

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.
