Systematic auger drilling at the Maria Geralda target returned several high-grade intercepts, including 20.0 m at 7.54 g/t Au, confirming near-surface continuity. Reasoning: Strong high-grade auger results at Maria Geralda and delineation of a large-scale gold system at Antino North. - Positive factor: High-grade auger intercepts - Positive factor: Multi-kilometre scale anomaly - Positive factor: Visible gold observed - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed Facts used in scoring: 8 ## 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 blanks, standards, and external QA-QC checks by ALS Global. Evidence · text > Founders Metals inserts blanks and certified reference standards in the sample sequence for quality control. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Delineation of a multi-kilometre gold system and new grab samples from newly discovered shear zones. Evidence · text > new grab sample of 57.80 g/t Au returned from a newly discovered shear zone further south ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8.

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.
