Significant intercepts include 15.5m @ 6.53 g/t Au and 20.7m @ 1.75 g/t Au, extending known mineralization and confirming grade continuity. The drilling program combines infill and step-out efforts, with results supporting the project's underground development and future resource updates. Reasoning: New drill results from the Kokoseb Gold Project confirm and extend high-grade gold mineralization within the underground resource envelope and exploration targets, supporting future resource growth. The results demonstrate strong continuity and expand the known mineralized footprint at depth. - Positive factor: High-grade intercepts - Positive factor: Significant widths - Positive factor: Extension of mineralization - Positive factor: Confirmation of continuity - Positive factor: JORC compliant reporting - Positive factor: QP/CP sign-off - Positive factor: Compositing parameters disclosed - Negative factor: Apparent width only Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 13 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The sub-interval in KDD191 of 3m @ 27.93 g/t Au exceeds the 15 g/t Au exceptional threshold for underground gold deposits. Evidence · text > inc. 3m @ 27.93 g/t Au in KDD191 **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 states that drill holes imply a true thickness around half the down-hole intercept lengths but does not provide specific true widths for the reported intercepts. Evidence · text > Drill holes are inclined at around 55 to 60 degrees, with azimuths generally perpendicular to local mineralisation trends, implying a true thickness around half the down-hole intercept lengths. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The drilling extended the Central Underground Exploration Target by approximately 470 metres and confirmed continuity to the southwest. Evidence · text > Central Underground Exploration Target extended 170m to the northeast and confirmation of 300m of continuity to the southwest. **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 states that industry best practice procedures were followed, including submitting blanks, field duplicates, and Certified Reference Material. Evidence · text > Industry best practice procedures were followed and included submitting blanks, field duplicates and Certified Reference Material. **Compositing Transparent** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals. Why it applies: The document clearly states that reported intercepts are calculated using a weighted average at a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off grade and allowing internal dilution of maximum 2m consecutive low-grade material. Evidence · text > Reported intercepts are calculated using weighted average at a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au and allowing internal dilution of maximum 2m consecutive low-grade material. **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The release explicitly mentions 'Infill drilling has further strengthened confidence in the continuity of mineralisation within the Central Underground Resource Envelope'. Evidence · text > Infill drilling has further strengthened confidence in the continuity of mineralisation within the Central Underground Resource Envelope. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 13.

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.
