The program identified continuous gold mineralization in Trench 1 and a high-grade gold-silver breccia vein near Trench 4. Reasoning: Trenching results demonstrate continuous gold mineralization and elevated silver values, supporting target definition in the North Cliff Zone. - Positive factor: continuous mineralization - Positive factor: anomalous silver values - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed Facts used in scoring: 10 ## 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 a Qualified Person \(Warner Gruenwald, P.Geo.\) has reviewed and approved the technical information. Evidence · text > Qualified Person Warner Gruenwald, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The quartz-calcite breccia vein returned 2.887 g/t Au and 130 g/t Ag, which is high grade for the context. Evidence · text > returned 2.887 g/t Au and 130 g/t Ag across the 0.3-metre exposure ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 10.

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.
