An extensive auger geochemistry program defined a 1.9-kilometre gold-in-saprolite anomaly, with a maiden reverse circulation drill program now being designed to test the target in bedrock. Reasoning: Initial trenching and auger results at the Fetiko target confirm significant in-situ gold mineralization and define a large gold-in-saprolite anomaly, providing strong justification for a maiden drill program and advancing the early-stage exploration project. - Positive factor: In-situ gold mineralization confirmed by trenching - Positive factor: Large 1.9 km gold-in-saprolite anomaly defined by auger program - Positive factor: Maiden drill program being designed, indicating project advancement - Positive factor: QA/QC procedures disclosed and reviewed by Qualified Person - Positive factor: Project located in a known gold belt with nearby operating mines - Negative factor: True widths of trench intercepts are not known - Negative factor: Auger results are geochemical and not drill intercepts, requiring follow-up drilling - Negative factor: High sample-to-sample variance noted for gold mineralization style Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The document explicitly states that 'True widths are not currently known and reported lengths are channel-sample lengths', indicating that the reported intercept lengths may not represent true thicknesses. Evidence · text > True widths are not currently known and reported lengths are channel-sample lengths. **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: The release details the insertion of certified reference materials, blanks, and field duplicates, and mentions laboratory internal control programs, all reviewed by a Qualified Person. Evidence · text > The Company inserted certified reference materials, blanks and field duplicates into the auger sample stream at an overall rate of approximately one control sample in every 20 routine samples... The laboratory additionally ran its own internal control programme across the same sample batches, comprising blanks, preparation blanks, in-house standards and repeat and split analyses of routine samples. **Cut-off Disclosed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison. Why it applies: The document clearly states the cut-off grade and internal dilution rules used for reporting intervals. Evidence · text > Intervals are reported at a 0.30 g/t Au cut-off, with a maximum of 3 metres of internal waste and a minimum length of 1 metre. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The auger program defined a 1.9-kilometre gold-in-saprolite anomaly, extending the known mineralization footprint. Evidence · text > define a coherent zone of anomalous gold in saprolite extending over approximately 1.9 kilometres along a north-north-east trend **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The project's location is highlighted by its proximity to the Syama and Sissingué gold mines, suggesting value based on nearby discoveries. Evidence · text > situated within the Birimian-aged Boundiali greenstone belt between the Syama \(Resolute Mining\) and Sissingué \(Perseus Mining\) gold mines ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.
