Trench sampling confirmed that mineralization extends into the bedrock, with continuous channel sampling averaging 0.28 g/t Au over 14 metres. Reasoning: Certified fire assays confirm widespread gold mineralization in both surface and bedrock, validating previous field screening and strengthening the epithermal geological model. - Positive factor: High-grade surface intercepts \(8.78 g/t Au\) - Positive factor: Confirmation of mineralization in bedrock via trenching - Positive factor: Validation of field screening \(detectORE\) by certified assays - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with independent NATA accredited lab - Negative factor: Sampling is selective \(rock chip/float\) and not necessarily representative Facts used in scoring: 7 ## 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 includes mention of ALS Limited \(accredited by NATA\), blanks, standards, and duplicates. Evidence · text > ALS is accredited by NATA to ISO/IEC 17025 **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 8.78 g/t Au is exceptionally high for surface rock chip/float samples. Evidence · table > 8.78 Context: KRN-LR26-027A ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 7.

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.
