The resource is classified as Indicated and includes both open-pit \(Aurora North\) and underground \(Aurora South\) potential. Reasoning: The company announced an updated MRE for the Aurora Nickel Project with 10.5Mt at 0.44% Ni, classified as Indicated, providing a solid foundation for future development. - Positive factor: Indicated resource classification - Positive factor: QP sign-off provided - Positive factor: NI 43-101 compliant - Positive factor: Near-surface mineralization Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Indicated Resource** Polarity: positive Definition: Reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling; continuity can be assumed. Basis for Probable Reserves. Why it applies: The MRE is classified as Indicated following spatial grade continuity analysis. Evidence · text > The MRE has been classified in the Indicated category **NI 43-101 Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: The MRE was 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: Charley Murahwi and Chitrali Sarkar from Micon are named as the Qualified Persons. Evidence · text > Charley Murahwi, M.Sc., P.Geo., FAusIMM and Chitrali Sarkar, M.Sc., P.Geo. from Micon International Limited are the Qualified Persons \(QPs\) **Cut-off Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison. Why it applies: While specific cut-off grade is not explicitly listed as a single number, economic parameters for mining and processing are provided. Evidence · text > The MRE presented above uses economic assumptions for both, surface mining and underground mining. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.

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.
