The company also reported the granting of the Young Willis mineral claim and progress on its 2026 exploration campaign, including LiDAR and soil geochemical surveys. Reasoning: The update highlights a successful technical evaluation of Photon Assay technology which significantly increases reported grades for historical samples, alongside positive exploration progress and land tenure expansion. - Positive factor: Photon Assay technology demonstrated significantly higher gold grades compared to historical fire assay - Positive factor: Successful adoption of new assay method to capture coarse/nuggety gold - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with ISO 17025 accredited lab and stated methods - Positive factor: Expansion of land position via Young Willis claim grant Facts used in scoring: 5 ## 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: Release mentions MSA Labs is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and uses blanks, standards, and duplicates. Evidence · text > MSA Labs , an independent ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. ... includes certified reference materials, blanks and duplicate analyses **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The granting of the Young Willis claim expands the company's land position along the prospective quartz corridor. Evidence · text > The newly granted claims expand the Company's land position along the prospective quartz corridor ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5.
