Notable intercepts include 8m at 0.58% Cu and 147 g/t Ag in hole BH174, which contained a high-grade 0.2m sub-interval of 5,390 g/t Ag. Reasoning: Strong drill results from BH174 showing high-grade silver and copper, including a bonanza-grade silver intercept, alongside extension of known mineralisation. - Positive factor: Discovery of a new high-grade silver structure - Positive factor: Association with massive sulphides \(new style for project\) - Positive factor: Extension of existing copper-silver mineralisation Facts used in scoring: 10 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 0.2m at 5,390 g/t silver is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > 0.2 metres grading 10.24% copper, 5,390 g/t silver and 2.80 g/t gold **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Mineralisation extended in Zone 1 towards Zone 2. Evidence · text > Results also extended copper-silver mineralisation in Zone 1 towards Zone 2 **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: The document mentions further laboratory results are expected, implying standard assay protocols are in use, though specific lab names/methods for these results are not in this text. Evidence · text > further laboratory results... are expected within two to three weeks ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 10.
