The results, along with 17 newly recovered historic Anaconda holes, will be used to update the mineral resource estimate in preparation for a Pre-Feasibility Study \(PFS\). Reasoning: The release reports successful step-out drilling that extends mineralization and provides new historical data to support a resource upgrade for an upcoming PFS. - Positive factor: Step-out drilling extended the mineralized footprint - Positive factor: Discovery of 17 additional historic Anaconda holes to support resource update - Positive factor: Drilling results support resource classification upgrade \(Inferred to Indicated\) - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and certified lab usage disclosed Facts used in scoring: 5 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling at Yerington Pit discovered an extension of the mineralized footprint compared to the PEA. Evidence · text > the four angle drill holes at the Yerington Pit discovered an extension of the mineralized footprint compared to what was presented in the PEA. **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 details on certified lab \(Skyline\), blanks, standards, and chain of custody. Evidence · text > Commercially prepared certified reference materials and blanks were inserted by the Company **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: Drilling was targeted to increase sample density to support resource classification upgrade. Evidence · text > an increase in drill sample density is expected to support a resource classification upgrade. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5.

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.
