While new assay results are pending, the company reports that drilling has confirmed a tabular porphyry geometry and that mineralization remains open to the north. Reasoning: The release is primarily a progress update on an ongoing program; while it confirms geological continuity and geometry, it lacks new assay results for the current 2025 holes. - Positive factor: confirmed tabular geometry - Positive factor: mineralization remains open to the north - Positive factor: mineralization intersected to 500m depth - Negative factor: no new assay results reported for 2025 holes - Negative factor: RDP-25-010 terminated early due to intrusive Facts used in scoring: 9 ## 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 Danette Schwab, P.Geo. as a Qualified Person. Evidence · text > reviewed and approved by. Danette Schwab, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration of the Company, and a Qualified Person **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The 2025 program is described as confirming existing mineralization and geometry. Evidence · text > objective of confirming that the porphyry Cu-Au-Ag mineralization at Day is hosted in a westward-striking, steeply northward-dipping tabular body ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 9.

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.
