The program focused on expanding the AuRORA copper-gold-silver deposit, which has now been tested over a 1 km by 1 km area. Reasoning: The release announces the completion of a significant exploration program and highlights a strong historical intercept, though new 2025 assays are not yet provided. - Positive factor: successful completion of 15,381 m drill program - Positive factor: expansion of AuRORA deposit footprint to 1 km by 1 km - Positive factor: high grade near surface mineralization confirmed - Negative factor: assay results for current 2025 holes are pending Facts used in scoring: 7 ## 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 names Mark Rebagliati, P.Eng., as a Qualified Person \(QP\) who reviewed and approved the technical information. Evidence · text > Qualified Person Mark Rebagliati, P.Eng., a Qualified Person \("QP"\) as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical and scientific information in this news release. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The 2025 program included 23 deposit step-out expansion holes at AuRORA. Evidence · text > consisting of 23 deposit step-out expansion holes ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 7.

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.
