The results demonstrate significant continuity and scale, with mineralization extending beyond the previous conceptual pit shell. Reasoning: Hole 93 produced exceptional lithium intercepts that extend the known deposit and demonstrate significant scale and continuity. - Positive factor: exceptional grade and width in hole 93 - Positive factor: demonstrated continuity of mineralization at depth - Positive factor: extension of mineralization outside conceptual pit shell - Positive factor: best hole to date for the project - Negative factor: mineralized intervals are not representative of true width Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The 403.7m interval occurs outside of the conceptual pit shell area from the April-2026 MRE. Evidence · text > occurring outside of the conceptual pit shell area that comprised the April-2026 Mineral Resource Estimate **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: The release details the use of quartz blanks, CRMs, and duplicates, and notes QP verification. Evidence · text > A Quality Assurance / Quality Control \(QA/QC\) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The program is explicitly described as focused on the conversion of Inferred resources to Indicated via infill drilling. Evidence · text > drilling focused on the conversion of the existing Inferred Mineral Resources to the Indicated category ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

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.
