The company also noted progress on the Zuun Mod PEA and encouraging maiden drilling results at the Tereg Uul property. Reasoning: Strong operational performance at the Bayan Khundii mine with significant production growth and high recoveries, complemented by encouraging exploration results at Tereg Uul. - Positive factor: strong gold production increase of 37% over Q1 - Positive factor: gold recoveries of 96% exceeding target - Positive factor: improved ore grade and reduced dilution - Positive factor: successful maiden drill program at Tereg Uul - Negative factor: increased exploration and evaluation expenses Facts used in scoring: 2 ## 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: Qualified Persons Jon Lyons and Peter Dalton are named as overseeing technical and exploration information. Evidence · text > Qualified Person Jon Lyons, FAusIMM... and Peter Dalton, P.Geo. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Maiden drill program at Tereg Uul confirmed mineralization along a 1.5km structure. Evidence · text > maiden drill program confirmed anomalous gold and silver mineralization along a 1.5 kilometre trend **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The Tereg Uul results are from a maiden program, which is exploration-focused. Evidence · text > Completed maiden drill program at Tereg Uul ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

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.
