The project is supported by a Measured and Indicated resource of 81.3 million tonnes at 0.86 g/t gold equivalent. Reasoning: The company is advancing from exploration to development stage by initiating a PEA, supported by a significant M&I gold-silver resource. - Positive factor: Initiation of PEA for El Dorado-Monserrat project - Positive factor: Large-scale M&I resource of 81.3 Mt - Positive factor: High gold recovery \(>90%\) indicated in oxide material - Positive factor: Proximity to established Cerro Vanguardia mine Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **PEA Only** Polarity: neutral Definition: Only Class 4 / Initial Assessment economics available. Not bankable. Why it applies: The company has formally initiated work on a Preliminary Economic Assessment \(PEA\). Evidence · text > The Company has formally initiated work on a PEA for the EDM project **Indicated Resource** Polarity: positive Definition: Reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling; continuity can be assumed. Basis for Probable Reserves. Why it applies: The resource estimate includes Measured and Indicated categories. Evidence · text > 81.3 million tonnes of Measured and Indicated mineral resources **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Story-specific tag Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: Project is located close to AngloGold Ashanti’s Cerro Vanguardia mine. Evidence · text > located close to AngloGold Ashanti’s 200,000 oz./yr Au-Ag Cerro Vanguardia mine **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: Dr. Mario Alfaro Cortés, P. Geo., is named as the Qualified Person. Evidence · text > Dr. Mario Alfaro Cortés, P. Geo., is a qualified person as defined by Canadian National Instrument 43-101. ## 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.
