The results suggest that actual drilled grades are trending approximately 10% higher than the 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate model, supporting the conversion of Inferred resources to Indicated. Reasoning: The results confirm continuity in infill drilling and suggest higher-than-modeled grades, supporting resource conversion, though true widths are not yet estimated. - Positive factor: continuous mineralization observed in infill drilling - Positive factor: actual grades trending ~10% higher than MRE model - Positive factor: successful infill drilling targeting Inferred resource blocks - Negative factor: true width not disclosed Facts used in scoring: 5 ## Classification and evidence **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The release explicitly states the results are from exploration and infill diamond drill results. Evidence · text > is pleased to announce the following exploration and infill diamond drill results **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 provides detailed QA/QC protocols, including lab names, standards, blanks, and duplicate procedures. Evidence · text > Certified standards and blanks are randomly inserted into the sample stream **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: The document states true width cannot be estimated at this time due to lack of data. Evidence · text > True Width cannot be estimated at this time due to lack of data ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5.

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.
