The first 10 holes from Heap Leach Pad Two returned a weighted average of 0.50 g/t gold and 3.3 g/t silver, exceeding the estimated residual grades. Reasoning: Drill results from historic heap leach pad show grades higher than residual estimates and suggest good metallurgical amenability, though absolute grades are low. - Positive factor: Grades exceed estimated residual grades - Positive factor: Cyanide leach amenability suggested - Positive factor: Sonic drilling program progressing - Negative factor: Low absolute grades \(0.50 g/t Au\) - Negative factor: Additional drilling required for resource calculation Facts used in scoring: 6 ## 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: The release mentions cyanide gold analyses and refers to a NI 43-101 compliant technical report. Evidence · text > The technical content of this news release and the Company’s technical disclosure has been reviewed and approved by Michael Lindholm, CPG... who is a Qualified Person **NI 43-101 Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard.

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.
