Hole EL26031 returned 115.7 metres of 1.44 g/t Au and 0.24% Cu, identifying a major fault zone that appears to control higher-grade mineralization. Reasoning: The drill results from EL26031 confirm a high-grade, wide porphyry-style intercept that extends mineralization at depth and identifies a key structural control \(fault zone\) that appears to enhance mineralization. - Positive factor: High-grade gold-copper intercept \(1.44 g/t Au & 0.24% Cu\) - Positive factor: Significant width \(115.7m\) - Positive factor: Discovery of a new structural control \(major fault zone\) - Positive factor: Extension of mineralization at depth - Positive factor: Strong porphyry-style alteration and veining Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Hole EL26031 confirmed and extended gold mineralization intersected by earlier drilling and extended it to significant depths. Evidence · text > Hole EL26031 has confirmed and extended gold mineralization intersected by earlier drilling **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: Release includes details on certified reference materials, blanks, field duplicates, and an accredited laboratory \(ALS\). Evidence · text > Arras Minerals QA/QC protocols are maintained through the insertion of certified reference material \(standards\), blanks and field duplicates **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: Project is located near the Beskauga porphyry and KAZ Minerals' Bozshakol copper-gold mine. Evidence · text > Elemes lies near significant regional deposits, including the Beskauga porphyry copper-gold-silver deposit ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

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.
