The results, based on 7 additional diamond drill holes, reveal two parallel mineralized horizons, though all reported widths are preliminary gamma-probe measurements pending laboratory assay confirmation. Reasoning: The announcement reports a major expansion of the RIB North discovery strike length, though technical confidence is tempered by the reliance on preliminary radiometrics rather than confirmed assays. - Positive factor: Significant strike length expansion from 300m to 1.45km - Positive factor: Identification of two parallel mineralized horizons - Positive factor: High-grade radioactivity \(20,138 CPS\) reported - Positive factor: System remains open in all directions - Negative factor: Results are preliminary gamma-probe readings pending laboratory assays - Negative factor: True thickness has not been determined for any intercepts - Negative factor: Step-out holes are widely spaced Facts used in scoring: 5 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Mineralization continuity extended from 300 meters to 1.45 kilometers via step-out drilling. Evidence · text > extending traced mineralization continuity from 300 meters to 1.45 kilometers **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 company explicitly states that true thickness has not been determined and all figures are core-length measurements. Evidence · text > the company has not yet determined true thickness for any of the reported intercepts, since all figures to date are reported as core-length or core width measurements **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 mentions use of an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited facility \(Saskatchewan Research Council\). Evidence · text > All drill core is submitted to the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon, an ISO/IEC 17025:2005-accredited facility ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5.
