The company highlights high-grade silver, gold, and base metal mineralization from previous surface and drill programs, suggesting Carbonate Replacement Deposit \(CRD\) potential. Reasoning: The release provides an exploration update highlighting high-grade silver intercepts and new geophysical targets, though much of the specific numeric data refers to previous years' work. - Positive factor: High-grade silver intercepts reported - Positive factor: New geophysical anomalies identified - Positive factor: CRD deposit potential highlighted - Negative factor: Most reported drill results are historical restatements \(2021/2022\) - Negative factor: Surface grab samples are lower confidence than drill core Facts used in scoring: 6 ## 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 mentions a Qualified Person \(Julien Davy, P.Geo.\) has prepared and approved the technical information. Evidence · text > Qualified persons Julien Davy, P.Geo., M.Sc, MBA, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tarku Resources, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The company notes that 2021 drilling validated mineralization extending both vertically and laterally beyond historical limits. Evidence · text > extending both vertically beyond the untested historical limit of 200 meters and laterally ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.
