The release frames the program as resource infill and validation drilling, with further assays and a revised interpretation still pending. Reasoning: The release reports fresh drill intercepts from Oman, with one hole at Maqail South and one at Dogs Bone/Aarja returning meaningful copper-gold intersections. The results are encouraging for continuity and resource validation, but novelty is limited by the small number of assays and the fact that true widths are not stated. - Positive factor: Two new assay results reported from the ongoing drill programme. - Positive factor: The first Maqail South hole confirmed the dimensions and grade of existing resource. - Positive factor: The Dogs Bone hole confirmed the position of known mineralisation and validated historical drilling. - Negative factor: Only two holes have received assays so far; other holes remain pending or in progress. - Negative factor: Reported intervals are downhole widths and true widths are not known. - Negative factor: Cut-off and internal dilution were stated, but the release is still an exploration update rather than a completed resource update. Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The release says drilling is aiming to increase and upgrade the current Mineral Resource and to infill the resource to 25m centres. Evidence · text > infill the resource to a hole spacing of 25m centres **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Reported assays have a certified laboratory, actual QA/QC methods, or named QP/CP responsibility. Generic CP boilerplate, old-release references, plans and unrelated work are insufficient. Approval of a correction does not verify expressly unverified historical assays; assay accuracy is not guaranteed. Why it applies: The release states samples were assayed via Bureau Veritas and JORC Table 1 includes standards, blanks and duplicates. Evidence · text > Samples were assayed via the following method **True Width Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length. Why it applies: The JORC table explicitly states that reported intervals are down hole widths and true widths are not known, so true width is not disclosed. Evidence · text > True widths are not known. **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: A reported assay interval gives downhole or apparent length without a disclosed true width. It describes geometric uncertainty, not a measured true thickness or proof that the interval is overstated; drill orientation alone is not a true-width measurement. Why it applies: The release states the intervals are down hole widths and true widths are not known, so the apparent width may overstate true thickness. Evidence · text > Down hole intervals have been reported. True widths are not known. **Compositing Transparent** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals. Why it applies: The release states the significant intersections are based on greater than 0.5% Cu with up to 3.0m internal dilution and a minimum composite grade of 1.0% Cu. Evidence · text > Significant intersections are based on greater than 0.5% Cu and may include up to a maximum of 3.0m of internal dilution **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: The disclosed value premise relies on proximity to another known deposit rather than the issuer's own results. Mere location or along-strike wording in a release that reports its own drilling does not establish this premise. Why it applies: Dogs Bone is described as above mineralisation mined at the historic Aarja Mine, so part of the project pitch rests on proximity to known mineralisation. Evidence · text > situated above the mineralisation that was mined at the historic Aarja Mine **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The Maqail South program is described as infilling the resource to allow an Indicated Resource classification. Evidence · text > infill the resource to a hole spacing of 25m centres which will allow for an Indicated Resource classification ## 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.
