The company also reported a permitting milestone with the USFS deeming its Plan of Operations application complete. An initial conceptual exploration target of 50.3–55.3 million tonnes at 0.72–0.91 g/t Au was outlined. Reasoning: The release outlines a structured exploration path with positive permitting progress and high-grade continuity, though it remains in the early exploration stage with no formal resource. - Positive factor: Announcement of a clear 2026 drill program - Positive factor: Permitting milestone with USFS application deemed complete - Positive factor: Strong historical wide-intercept continuity - Positive factor: High-grade up-dip intercept \(5.26 g/t Au\) supports expansion potential - Negative factor: Exploration target is conceptual and not a formal NI 43-101 resource - Negative factor: Drilling commencement is subject to further permitting analysis Facts used in scoring: 3 ## 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 details blanks, standards, and duplicates insertion protocols and lab accreditation. Evidence · text > Quality control samples are included in the numerical sequence with B, S, or D designations for blanks, standards, and duplicates. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: 2026 program targets up-dip and new zones \(NE, NW, Baner East-West\) to expand known mineralization. Evidence · text > Drilling in 2026 will follow up on the successful 2025 results... and will include new targets **Permitting Milestone** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: No canonical definition is currently available. Why it applies: USFS has reviewed and deemed the Plan of Operations application complete. Evidence · text > received written confirmation from the United States Forest Service \(" USFS "\) that its Plan of Operations application for its 2026 Drill Program at the Property has been reviewed and deemed complete. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.
