The company also restated its 2021 mineral resource estimate, which includes an Indicated resource of 4.64 Mt at 4.60% ZnEq and an Inferred resource of 42.24 Mt at 4.49% ZnEq. Reasoning: The announcement focuses on the engagement of a geoscience firm to interpret new 3D IP survey results which suggest significant untested targets, while also restating a 2021 mineral resource. - Positive factor: Identification of large-scale untested chargeability anomalies - Positive factor: Strong correlation between IP response and known mineralization - Positive factor: Potential for district-scale continuity Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Story-specific tag Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The project is located within the Keno Hill silver district, a high-grade historic silver producing district. Evidence · text > The Blende property lies within the Keno Hill silver district, one of Canada’s highest-grade historic silver producing districts **Stale Estimate** Polarity: negative Definition: Effective date is >2 years old — data currency concern, may not reflect current geological understanding. Why it applies: The mineral resource estimate provided is from 2021, which is over 2 years old relative to the 2026 publication date. Evidence · text > A 2021 mineral resource estimate **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: Dr. Sarah Palmer, P.Geo., is named as the independent Qualified Person who reviewed the technical information. Evidence · text > reviewed and approved by Dr. Sarah Palmer, P.Geo., an independent consultant commissioned by the Company, who is a 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 2021 resource estimate was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101.

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.
