The company is targeting near-surface satellite oxide deposits to supplement the existing Tuzon and Dugbe F deposits. Reasoning: The update provides progress on exploration targets near the existing Dugbe Gold Project, identifying new potential satellite oxide deposits and providing context for upcoming drilling. - Positive factor: identification of new drill targets \(Jadae East, DSZ\) - Positive factor: presence of artisanal mining indicating gold source - Positive factor: proximity to existing Tuzon resource - Positive factor: planned resource development program - Negative factor: historical data used for some targets - Negative factor: reliance on auger drilling for shallow targets Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Story-specific tag Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: Exploration targets \(Jadae East, DSZ\) are located near the existing Tuzon and Dugbe F deposits. Evidence · text > These areas have never been drill-tested and are both on the Dugbe Shear zone; on both sides of the 3.3 Moz \(Measured and Indicated\) Mineral Resource at the Tuzon and Dugbe F deposits. **Resource Update** Polarity: neutral Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress. Why it applies: The source explicitly discloses a revised resource estimate Evidence · text > Updated Mineral Resource Estimate ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

Status: scored - Historical: No #### Dates - Event date: 2025-09-15T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: Historical channel sample from a trench providing continuity context. - Positive factor: consistent with Tuzon lithologies Evidence · text > In trench TZTR091 the laterite cover was less than 2 metres and so the fresh bedrock could be exposed. A channel cut along the bedrock returned 36 metres with an average grade of 0.6 g/t Au. #### Tags used in scoring **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.

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.
