The results confirm the presence of porphyry-hosted mineralization 110m north of the current resource boundary. Reasoning: The drill hole MBA037 successfully extended the known mineralized footprint of the Maria Bonita resource to the north with consistent porphyry-hosted gold grades. - Positive factor: Step-out extension north of existing resource - Positive factor: Wide mineralized intervals - Positive factor: Consistent mineralization style with core deposit - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Hole MBA037 is located 110m north of the current Maria Bonita mineral resource edge. Evidence · text > located 110m north of the edge of the current Maria Bonita mineral resource **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 specific QA/QC protocols including blanks, standards, duplicates, and third-party check assays. Evidence · text > Quality control of drill hole assays follows normal industry procedures of inserting control samples randomly ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.

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.
