The program aims to expand the existing gold resource and conduct infill drilling to improve confidence, while also evaluating high-priority targets at Cassiar South. Reasoning: The announcement marks the commencement of a significant, fully funded exploration season with a large drill campaign targeting both resource expansion and high-grade targets. - Positive factor: launch of fully funded 10,000m drill program - Positive factor: focus on resource expansion and infill at Taurus - Positive factor: district-scale potential with high-grade historical targets at Cassiar South Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The program includes infill drilling to improve resource confidence at the Taurus Deposit.
