The Purdex Zone contains 152 kt of Indicated resource at 9.38 g/t Au and 287 kt of Inferred resource at 10.43 g/t Au. Reasoning: The technical report confirms high-grade gold resources \(9.38 g/t Au Indicated\) for the Purdex Zone, though the MRE itself is a restatement of a 2023 estimate. - Positive factor: High grade indicated and inferred resources - Positive factor: NI 43-101 compliant technical report filed - Positive factor: QP sign-off provided - Negative factor: Stale data re-release \(MRE originally from June 2023\) - Negative factor: Significant Inferred component Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **NI 43-101 Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: Technical report prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 standards. Evidence · text > prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 **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: Colin Bowdidge and Robert Penczak are named as Qualified Persons. Evidence · text > reviewed and approved by Colin Bowdidge, Ph.D., P.Geo **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: A significant portion of the Purdex Zone resource is in the Inferred category. Evidence · text > The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Mineral Resources in this news release are uncertain in nature **Stale Data Re-release** Polarity: negative Story-specific tag Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty. Why it applies: The MRE being confirmed was previously prepared on June 30, 2023. Evidence · text > independently prepared by P&E Mining Consultants Inc. previously on June 30, 2023 ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.

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.
