Eastport Confirms REE-Mineral Discovery, Supporting Potential For Large-Scale REE Deposit, with SEM007 Intersecting 347m at 0.20% TREO

Cut Off Undisclosednegative

Reported composited assay intervals omit the cut-off grade used for those intervals. Apply only to actual reported assay intervals in the reviewed scope, not drilling plans or missing extraction fields alone.

Why it applies: The reported intercept '347m at 0.20% TREO' does not include any disclosure of a cut-off grade used for the interval.

Cut Off Undisclosednegative

Reported composited assay intervals omit the cut-off grade used for those intervals. Apply only to actual reported assay intervals in the reviewed scope, not drilling plans or missing extraction fields alone.

Why it applies: The reported intercept '347m at 0.20% TREO' for fact index 0 does not include any disclosure of a cut-off grade used for the interval.

Apparent Width Onlynegative

A reported assay interval gives downhole or apparent length without a disclosed true width. It describes geometric uncertainty, not a measured true thickness or proof that the interval is overstated; drill orientation alone is not a true-width measurement.

Why it applies: The reported assay interval '347m at 0.20% TREO' provides a downhole length without any disclosed true width.

No QA/QC Disclosurenegative

Assays lack a certified lab, QA/QC methods and named relevant QP/CP responsibility in the full source. Named CP consent in scope counts; headings or old-release references alone do not. Correction approval does not verify unverified historical assays. Missing fields, partial text, plans or non-assay news prove no gap; never claim QA/QC was not performed.

Why it applies: The source does not contain any disclosure of QA/QC procedures, certified labs, or named QP/CP responsibility for the assays.

Step Out ExtensionRejected · positive

Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Reason: The intercept SEM007 represents a new discovery of REE-mineralization.

Bonanza InterceptRejected · positive

An exceptionally high-grade reported intercept reaching the exceptional GRADE_BANDS tier for its commodity and applicable deposit context. Require a disclosed grade and compatible unit; the adjective high-grade alone, a metal-equivalent basket without assumptions, or a planned target does not establish this tag.

Metal Equivalent OpaqueRejected · negative

Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used. Requires an actual metal equivalent grade; a combined elemental basket such as PGE is not a metal equivalent.

True Width DisclosedRejected · positive

Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length.

QA/QC DisclosedRejected · positive

Reported assays have a certified laboratory, actual QA/QC methods, or named QP/CP responsibility. Generic CP boilerplate, old-release references, plans and unrelated work are insufficient. Approval of a correction does not verify expressly unverified historical assays; assay accuracy is not guaranteed.

Compositing TransparentRejected · positive

Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals.

Infill DrillingRejected · neutral

Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Stale Data Re ReleaseRejected · negative

Results are re-announced unchanged, without new assays or substantive reinterpretation. A material correction, withdrawal or new qualification of their location, ownership or reliability is new information, even without new assays. Historical context in a current announcement does not make it stale.

Deleterious Elements PresentRejected · negative

A source-stated penalty, refractory or recovery concern in the fact's scope. Element detection alone, including measured elements explicitly below penalty thresholds, does not trigger this tag. Respect negation and retain a separately stated concern even when another risk is explicitly absent.

Refractory OreRejected · negative

Ore requires oxidation/pressure treatment before recovery — a processing and recovery risk.

Nearology PlayRejected · neutral

The disclosed value premise relies on proximity to another known deposit rather than the issuer's own results. Mere location or along-strike wording in a release that reports its own drilling does not establish this premise.
