The program aims to confirm high-grade zones and support an initial mineral resource estimation of the supergene copper blanket. Reasoning: The company is announcing a planned 1,000m drilling program to test a copper project, which is a forward-looking exploration update rather than completed results. - Positive factor: planned drilling program to confirm high-grade zones - Positive factor: clear objective to produce initial resource estimation - Positive factor: historical copper mineralization noted - Negative factor: historical resource estimates are not being treated as current - Negative factor: drilling results are pending Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Story-specific tag Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The company plans infill drilling with a 100 x 100m grid to produce an initial resource estimation. Evidence · text > infill drilling with a 100 X 100m grid to produce an initial reliable mineral resource estimation ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

Status: scored - Historical: Yes #### Dates - Event date: 2023-12-13T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: Historical intercept of 1.79% Cu over 10.54m reported from near-surface drilling. - Positive factor: strong historical intercept - Negative factor: historical data only #### Tags used in scoring **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not true **Cut-off Undisclosed** Polarity: negative Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing. Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated **Stale Data Re-release** Polarity: negative Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty. Why it applies: the fact restates a prior release ### Fact 2 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/europacific-plans-1-000-meter-drill-program-at-miguel-vacas-copper-project-in-so--4767fc0d-6644-42c9-978c-01be68321597#fact-drill-facts-1) Miguel Vacas · copper Historical result Needs review: drill\_no\_hole\_id #### Identity - Project: Miguel Vacas - Commodity: copper - Region: southern portugal - Reported Region: southern portugal - Ticker: EUP #### Geometry - Grade: 2.29 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 7.3 m - From: 60 m - To: 71.63 m - Intercept Depth: 60 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: Miguel\_Vacas:60-71.63 #### QA/QC - QP Signed: Yes #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: drill\_no\_hole\_id - Interp.

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.
