The release also provides updated Mineral Resource Estimates for the AurMac and Hyland projects in the Yukon. Reasoning: The announcement combines a substantial capital raise to fund exploration with a restatement of existing mineral resources for the AurMac and Hyland projects. - Positive factor: Significant capital raise of $46.5 million - Positive factor: Flow-through shares provide tax advantages for exploration - Positive factor: Large gold resource at AurMac Project \(7.7 Moz total\) - Positive factor: Existing infrastructure and powerline access - Negative factor: Resource is heavily weighted towards Inferred category \(70%\) Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: Marc Jutras, P.Eng., M.A.Sc., is named as the Qualified Person for the MRE. Evidence · text > prepared by Marc Jutras, P.Eng., M.A.Sc., Principal, Ginto Consulting Inc., an independent " Qualified Person " **NI 43-101 Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: The resource estimate is prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 standards. Evidence · text > as defined by National Instrument 43-101 **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed.

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.
