Hole DF26-020 returned 39.62m of 5.35 g/t Au, including 25.91m of 7.14 g/t Au, while DF26-019 intersected 10.67m of 7.75 g/t Au, and DF26-018 yielded 18.29m of 3.77 g/t Au. These results represent a 40-metre step-out into previously untested ground, confirming a high-grade oxide gold system and extending mineralization. The company has completed 15 holes to date as part of a 14,000-metre campaign, with assays pending for 12 additional holes. Reasoning: The document reports exceptional high-grade gold drill results from step-out drilling at the Mojave Project, extending known mineralization into previously untested areas. The grades and widths are highly material for an oxide gold system, indicating significant potential. While true widths are unknown, the overall results are very positive. - Positive factor: High-grade gold intercepts, including bonanza grades, significantly exceed typical thresholds for epithermal deposits. - Positive factor: Significant step-out drilling successfully extended mineralization into previously untested ground, demonstrating potential for growth. - Positive factor: The presence of a broad, high-grade oxide gold system suggests potential for open-pittable mineralization. - Positive factor: QA/QC procedures are disclosed, including accredited lab, QP sign-off, and use of blanks and standards, enhancing data credibility. - Negative factor: True widths of the mineralized structures are currently unknown, which may overstate the actual thickness of the intercepts. - Negative factor: Cut-off grades for compositing are not disclosed, limiting transparency on interval methodology.

Evidence · text > DF20-002: 45.72m of 6.68 g/t Au #### Tags used in scoring **Stale Data Re-release** Polarity: negative Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty. Why it applies: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty. Evidence · text > DF20-002: 45.72m of 6.68 g/t Au \(see K2 release of November 30, 2020 \) **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 6.68 g/t Au is above the 5 g/t exceptional threshold for open pit gold. Evidence · text > 6.68 g/t Au **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Evidence · text > At present time, true widths of the mineralized structures at Dragonfly are unknown. **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: qaqc\_disclosed is true **Cut-off Undisclosed** Polarity: negative Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing. Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

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.
