The hole now reports 50.15 metres at 0.68% CuEq, more than doubling its previously reported width. Reasoning: The drill hole VKS25-024 has been significantly extended from 24.05m to 50.15m, more than doubling the known width of the mineralized interval. - Positive factor: significant interval extension - Positive factor: high grade continuity Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The interval in VKS25-024 has been expanded from 24.05m to 50.15m. Evidence · text > expanding the previously reported interval of 24.05 metres ## 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.
