The program, which re-assayed reject material from 17 holes using Actlabs, showed a strong correlation with original results, despite higher variability in high-grade samples due to coarse gold. Reasoning: The company successfully completed a verification program that confirms the accuracy of historical gold data at the ESP project, de-risking the geological model for future development. - Positive factor: Successful verification of historical gold assays - Positive factor: Strong correlation between duplicate and original assays for grades < 5 g/t - Positive factor: Confirmation of coarse gold presence - Positive factor: QP sign-off on the verification program - Negative factor: Higher variability noted in high-grade samples \(> 5 g/t\) due to coarse gold Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release details the use of 85 samples, 7 certified reference materials, 6 blanks, and a certified lab \(Actlabs\). Evidence · text > eighty-five \(85\) samples from 17 holes along with 7 certified reference materials and 6 "blank" duplicates were submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd. \(Actlabs\) **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag 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: Seymour M. Sears, P.Geo, is named as the Qualified Person who reviewed and approved the release. Evidence · text > Seymour M. Sears, B.A., B.Sc., P.Geo. is the Qualified Person for the Company ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is true **Cut-off Undisclosed** Polarity: negative Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing. Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated ### Fact 2 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/canuc-completes-gold-assay-verification-program-at-esp--18874e66-150c-429e-b1aa-659cb73a0e4c#fact-drill-facts-1) gold Needs review: drill\_no\_hole\_id #### Identity - Commodity: gold - Region: canada\_on - Reported Region: canada\_on - Ticker: CDA #### Geometry - Grade: 0.804 - Grade Unit: g/t #### Classification - Sample Type: drill #### QA/QC - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards, blanks, duplicates #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: drill\_no\_hole\_id - Interp. Status: scored - Historical: No #### Dates - Event date: 2025-10-22T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: Extreme variance in a single sample highlights the difficulty of assaying coarse gold. - Negative factor: Significant decrease in one sample compared to original Evidence · text > the most severe decrease being 0.804 g/t Au compared to an original of 22.3 g/t Au #### Tags used in scoring **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

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.
