The additional drilling targets the South Zone and Kena Copper-Gold Zone, areas located outside the 2021 historical mineral resource footprint. Reasoning: The company is expanding its exploration footprint and drilling meterage based on visual logging, which is a positive indicator of geological interest, though actual grade confirmation is pending. - Positive factor: Expansion of drilling program based on positive geological observations - Positive factor: Targeting areas outside historical resource footprint - Positive factor: Permit extension secured to allow completion of work - Negative factor: No new assay results provided in this release Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **Historical Estimate Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Estimate pre-dates or does not comply with current JORC/NI 43-101 standards — requires verification drilling. Why it applies: The resource figures provided are from a 2021 technical report and are not treated as current by the company. Evidence · text > The historical resource estimate is disclosed in the technical report... dated May 3, 2021 **Resource Update** Polarity: neutral Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress. Why it applies: The company is conducting drilling to support an updated NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate targeted for Q1 2027. Evidence · text > Results are expected to contribute to the updated NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate targeted for Q1 2027. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

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.
