The company is currently executing a major 100,000-metre diamond drill program and expects to deliver metallurgy and environmental baseline studies in 2026. Reasoning: The document summarizes 2025 accomplishments, highlighting substantial resource growth \(M&I and Inferred\) and the launch of an ambitious drill program, though the specific resource numbers are a re-release of a December 2025 announcement. - Positive factor: Significant gold resource growth reported - Positive factor: M&I resource increased by 7% - Positive factor: Inferred resource increased by 48% - Positive factor: Major 100,000m drill program underway Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **Resource Update** Polarity: neutral Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress. Why it applies: The document reports significant growth in the Measured and Indicated and Inferred gold resources at the Cadillac Project. Evidence · text > Delivery of a Significant Gold Resource Growth at Cadillac **Tonnage Growth** Polarity: positive Definition: Tonnage increase reaching the strong tier vs prior estimate, with grade maintained or improved. Why it applies: Measured and Indicated tonnage increased by 7% and Inferred by 48% compared to the prior estimate. Evidence · text > a 7% Increase and 35,185,000 tonnes at a grade of 2.14 g/t Au for 2,416,900 Ounces Inferred, a 48% Increase **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: Mr. Ronan Déroff, P.Geo., is named as the Qualified Person responsible for the technical content. Evidence · text > prepared, reviewed and approved by Mr. Ronan Déroff, P.Geo., M.Sc., Vice President Exploration, who is a "Qualified Person" **Stale Estimate** Polarity: negative Definition: Effective date is >2 years old — data currency concern, may not reflect current geological understanding. Why it applies: The resource figures provided are a restatement of a press release dated December 18th, 2025.

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.
