The proposed program includes up to 4,300 meters of diamond drilling aimed at resource definition and geotechnical/hydrogeological characterization to support future mine development. Reasoning: The filing of a Plan of Operations is a key regulatory milestone that enables the transition from pure exploration to development-focused drilling and geotechnical characterization. - Positive factor: Permit filing for 2026 drilling program - Positive factor: Advancement toward mine development - Positive factor: Geotechnical and hydrogeological data gathering - Positive factor: Strong regulatory signal from US Forest Service Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **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: Kyle Mehalek, P.E., is identified as the QP who reviewed and approved the technical disclosure. Evidence · text > Kyle Mehalek, P.E.., is the QP within the meaning of NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this release. **NI 43-101 Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: The resource estimate is explicitly stated to be an updated NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate.

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.
