The release highlights historical intercepts from holes KB-02 and KB-05 to support three high-priority targets identified via geophysics. Reasoning: The announcement details the resumption of drilling and provides historical intercept data \(KB-02 and KB-05\) to contextualize new targets. While the grades are interesting, they are presented as follow-up/historical data rather than new assay results from the current program. - Positive factor: high-grade zinc and copper intercepts - Positive factor: VMS-style mineralization identified - Positive factor: geophysical anomalies support targets - Positive factor: QP sign-off provided - Negative factor: intercepts are historical/follow-up rather than brand new discovery - Negative factor: KB-05 intercept is very narrow \(0.2m\) Facts used in scoring: 8 ## 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: The release mentions a Qualified Person \(Sylvain Lépine, M.Sc, P.Geo\) has reviewed and approved the content. Evidence · text > He is a qualified person \(as defined in National Instrument 43-101...\) **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The program is described as a follow-up on 2019 drilling data to better understand stratigraphy. Evidence · text > The current drilling program is a follow-up on a 2019 drilling data compilation ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (8) ### KB-02 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/yorbeau-announces-beginning-of-drilling-program-at-kb-project-in-chibougamau-cam--6ab40a61-7176-4041-926c-11134721a7be#fact-drill-facts-0) KB project · copper Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Hole ID: KB-02 - Project: KB project - Commodity: copper - Region: canada\_qc - Reported Region: Quebec - Ticker: YRB #### Geometry - Grade: 0.9 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 1.4 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: KB-02:unknown-unknown #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: historical\_restatement - Interp.

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.
