The update includes 3.8 Moz AgEq in the Indicated category and 20.3 Moz AgEq in the Inferred category, significantly expanding the project's scale. Reasoning: The 2025 MRE represents a massive expansion in scale for the Valenciana project, primarily driven by a huge increase in Inferred tonnage, though the lack of Measured resources and reliance on channel sampling are noted technical constraints. - Positive factor: Massive tonnage growth in Inferred category \(927%\) - Positive factor: Significant AgEq ounce growth \(630%\) - Positive factor: Indicated resource expansion \(18%\) - Positive factor: QP sign-off by independent professional - Negative factor: Resource is entirely Inferred or Indicated; no Measured resources defined - Negative factor: Heavy reliance on underground channel samples which may limit domain definition Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Tonnage Growth** Polarity: positive Definition: Tonnage increase reaching the strong tier vs prior estimate, with grade maintained or improved. Why it applies: Inferred Mineral Resource tonnes increased by 927% relative to the previous historical MRE. Evidence · text > Inferred Mineral Resource tonnes of 2,268 thousand tonnes \(kt\) represent a 927% increase relative to the previous historical Mineral Resource Estimate **Contained Metal Growth** Polarity: positive Definition: True scale improvement — contained metal ounces/tonnes increased vs prior, accounting for both tonnage and grade changes. Why it applies: Inferred AgEq ounces increased by 630% compared to the previous estimate. Evidence · text > Inferred Mineral Resources increased by 630% relative to the previous historical Mineral Resource Estimate **Indicated Resource** Polarity: positive Definition: Reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling; continuity can be assumed. Basis for Probable Reserves. Why it applies: The estimate includes 410 kt of Indicated Mineral Resources. Evidence · text > Indicated Mineral Resources of 3.8 million troy ounces \(Moz\) AgEq 8 at 288.8 g/t AgEq 8 within 410 thousand tonnes \(kt\) **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: The estimate includes 2,268 kt of Inferred Mineral Resources. Evidence · text > Inferred Mineral Resources of 20.3 Moz AgEq 8 at 278.7 g/t AgEq 8 within 2,268 kt **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: Warren Black, M.Sc., P.Geo. of APEX Geoscience Ltd. is named as the Qualified Person. Evidence · text > Warren Black, M.Sc., P.Geo., Senior Consultant: Mineral Resources and Geostatistics of APEX Geoscience Ltd., who is deemed a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 **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 was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 standards. Evidence · text > The 2025 VMC MRE was prepared by Mr. Warren Black, M.Sc., P.Geo., of APEX Geoscience Ltd... in accordance with the National Instrument 43-101 **Cut-off Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison. Why it applies: An underground AgEq cutoff grade of 110 g/t is explicitly stated. Evidence · text > results in an underground AgEq cutoff grade of 110 g/t ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

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.
