The hole intersected two high-grade VMS zones totaling 27.6m, including intercepts of up to 4.30% Cu-Eq. Reasoning: The drill hole WD-26-11 returned exceptionally high-grade copper-equivalent intercepts \(up to 4.30% CuEq\) over significant widths, representing a major discovery or high-grade extension at the Wedge Mine. - Positive factor: High-grade copper-equivalent intercepts - Positive factor: Significant width of mineralization - Positive factor: VMS deposit style confirmed Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 4.30% Cu-Eq exceeds the exceptional threshold for VMS/base metal deposits Evidence · text > 4.30% CU-EQ Over 5.0M **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: Document is titled 'CERTIFIED DRILL RESULTS' Evidence · text > CERTIFIED DRILL RESULTS ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.

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.
