The results include high-grade intercepts in holes 26WCDD037, 038, and 039, which will support a planned Q4 2026 resource update. Reasoning: Exceptional silver grades \(up to 64,745 g/t\) and significant width extensions beyond the current resource model provide high-impact exploration success. - Positive factor: Bonanza-grade silver intercepts - Positive factor: Step-out extension west of current resource - Positive factor: Infill drilling improving resource confidence - Positive factor: Visible native silver observed Facts used in scoring: 10 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: Intercepts of 64,745 g/t and 23,360 g/t silver reported. Evidence · text > spectacular 0.5m interval within the same hole returned 64,745g/t silver **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling intersected significant mineralisation beyond the western limit of the current resource block model. Evidence · text > intersected significant mineralisation beyond the western limit of the current resource block model **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: Holes infilled part of the near-surface Inferred portion of the April 2026 resource block model. Evidence · text > These holes infilled part of the near-surface Inferred portion of the April 2026 resource block model ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 10.

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.
