The company also reported significant gold intercepts from recent diamond drilling and completed a $530,000 non-brokered private placement. Reasoning: The company successfully expanded its Dakouli 2 permit and reported high-grade gold intercepts from recent diamond drilling, though it explicitly noted a lack of QA/QC verification for the new expansion area samples. - Positive factor: Permit expansion approved - Positive factor: Significant gold intercepts in recent DDH drilling - Positive factor: Proximity to Bissa Mine - Negative factor: No QA/QC disclosure for new expansion area samples Facts used in scoring: 7 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The permit was expanded by 1.39 square kilometers extending coverage westward. Evidence · text > The expansion of the Dakouli 2 project has resulted in the exploration permit being expanded by 1.39 square kilometers. **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 39.6 g/t Au over 2m is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > 39.6 g/t over 2m **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: The company explicitly states a QP was unable to verify the lab or QC for the new expansion area samples. Evidence · text > a Qualified Person has been unable to verify the laboratory involved in the analysis of these samples, and no documentation was available regarding quality control procedures **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: Project is proximal to Nordgold's Bissa Mine. Evidence · text > Dakouli is proximal to Nordgold’s Bissa Mine ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 7.
