The company also announced the production of its third batch of silver concentrate, totaling approximately 32 tonnes. Reasoning: The announcement reports high-grade silver channel sampling results and ongoing production, but carries significant technical risk due to lack of field QA/QC and unknown true width. - Positive factor: High-grade silver channel sampling \(539 g/t Ag\) - Positive factor: Continuous 10m interval - Positive factor: Production of third concentrate batch - Negative factor: No QA/QC \(blanks/standards/duplicates\) in field protocol - Negative factor: Internal laboratory is not ISO 17025 accredited - Negative factor: True width unknown - Negative factor: No independent check assays for channel samples Facts used in scoring: 7 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 539 g/t Ag over 10m is exceptionally high for silver channel sampling. Evidence · text > 539 g/t Ag over a continuous 10.0-meter interval **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The company explicitly states the relationship between sample interval and true thickness is unknown. Evidence · text > The relationship between the reported sample interval and the true thickness of mineralization has therefore not been established, and the true thickness of the reported interval is unknown. **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. Why it applies: The field sampling protocol did not include CRMs, blanks, or duplicates. Evidence · text > The preliminary underground channel sampling program did not include the insertion of certified reference materials \("CRMs"\), blanks, or duplicate samples by the Company as part of the field sampling protocol. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.
