These results are expected to be incorporated into the upcoming 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate scheduled for release in the December quarter. Reasoning: Drilling has successfully extended the Spitfire lode beyond the 2025 MRE limits with high-grade copper and gold intercepts, supporting an upcoming resource upgrade. - Positive factor: Step-Out Extension - Positive factor: High-grade copper-gold intercepts - Positive factor: Extension beyond existing resource envelope Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling has extended the Spitfire lode beyond the existing resource envelope.

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.
