Leamington VMS deposit in Newfoundland. The program uses hyperspectral data to target previously unsampled copper-bearing sulphide stringers near the Kraken copper zone. Reasoning: The company is initiating a sampling program of historic core to target copper-rich feeder zones identified via hyperspectral imaging, which could expand the existing resource. - Positive factor: Identification of new targets via hyperspectral data - Positive factor: Proximity of historical holes to known high-grade Kraken zone - Positive factor: Presence of visible sulphide stringers in unsampled intervals - Negative factor: Grades for unsampled intervals are currently unknown Facts used in scoring: 5 ## Classification and evidence **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: Release mentions technical information reviewed and approved by a Qualified Person \(Jason Flight, P.Geo\). Evidence · text > reviewed and approved by Jason Flight, P.Geo., a "qualified person" under NI 43-101 **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The program targets historical holes located immediately adjacent to the newly discovered Kraken copper zone. Evidence · text > Several historical holes pass immediately adjacent to broad copper rich intersections drilled into the newly discovered Kraken copper zone. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (5) ### PL-118 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/visionary-launches-sampling-program-of-historic-drill-core-from-pt-leamington-in--a1ee6c53-99ee-4b61-bf45-c12ccc6218ea#fact-drill-facts-0) Pt.

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.
