The drilling identified diagnostic epithermal features including ginguro-banded quartz veins and gold tellurides, though formal assay results are still pending. Reasoning: The program identified diagnostic epithermal textures \(ginguro banding\) and gold tellurides, which are high-potential indicators for large systems, though actual grade values are still pending assay results. - Positive factor: Discovery of ginguro-banded quartz veins - Positive factor: Presence of gold tellurides \(calaverite, krennerite\) - Positive factor: Visible gold/electrum observed - Positive factor: Identification of new east-west structure - Negative factor: No assay grades reported yet - Negative factor: Mineral identification based on field observations only Facts used in scoring: 8 ## 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 mentions 350 samples submitted to ALS Global for analysis and approval by a QP. Evidence · text > Over 350 samples have been submitted to ALS Global in Vancouver, BC , to be analysed for Au by Fire Assay and multi-elements by four acid digestion and ICP-MS. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Identification of a new east-west structure parallel to existing structures. Evidence · text > The last intersection is a new east-west structure that parallels the two original Conquest structures ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8.

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.
