The program identified two new exploration targets, the Tom East and Kelly Gold Zones, and confirmed high-grade gold-silver mineralization in existing zones via trench sampling. Reasoning: The release reports successful reconnaissance sampling and trenching that identified new mineralized zones and high-grade intercepts, expanding the project's footprint. - Positive factor: Discovery of two new exploration targets \(Tom East and Kelly Gold Zones\) - Positive factor: High-grade gold intercepts in Trench 6B \(4.45 g/t over 21m\) - Positive factor: Identification of high-grade veins in South Gold Zone \(up to 8.77 g/t Au\) - Positive factor: Strong IP chargeability anomalies suggesting larger buried systems - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and QP sign-off disclosed - Negative factor: Results are based on surface sampling/trenching rather than diamond drilling Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Identification of Tom East and Kelly Gold Zones as new targets along the Francisca Trend. Evidence · text > identified two new prominent gold mineralized systems. The Tom East Zone... and the Kelly Gold Zone **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 use of blanks, standards, duplicates, and a certified laboratory \(Alex Stewart International\). Evidence · text > In addition to Alex Stewart's in house QA-QC controls, blanks, duplicates and standards were inserted **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The Kelly Gold Zone is described as an extension of the South Gold Zone. Evidence · text > The Kelly Gold Zone... is thought to be an extension of it. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

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.
