The definition drilling program includes significant intercepts, such as 493 g/t Ag over 5.3 metres, aimed at upgrading resource classification. Reasoning: Strong silver-lead-zinc intercepts from a definition drilling program designed to upgrade resource classification. - Positive factor: High-grade silver intercepts - Positive factor: Successful step-out drilling - Positive factor: Confirmation of previous mineralization Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: Intercepts such as 493 g/t Ag and 384 g/t Ag are exceptionally high grade for this deposit type. Evidence · text > 493 g/t Ag **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The program is described as a definition drill program designed to upgrade resource classification. Evidence · text > definition drill program on the Puro Corazon target... designed to upgrade resource classification **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Holes targeted areas with nominal 40-metre step-outs from previously reported intercepts. Evidence · text > successfully targeted the upper part of the zone with nominal 40-metre step-outs from previously reported intercepts ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (6) ### 26CLM-225 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/southern-silver-drills-35-0-metres-averaging-188-g-t-ag-4-9-pb-and-4-6-zn-at-cer--8b5aa788-ae09-41c1-a92b-cc942b90d639#fact-drill-facts-0) Cerro Las Minitas · silver #### Identity - Hole ID: 26CLM-225 - Project: Cerro Las Minitas - Commodity: silver - Region: mexico - Reported Region: mexico - Ticker: SSV #### Geometry - Grade: 188 - Grade Unit: g/t - Intercept: 35 m #### Classification - Program: resource - Sample Type: drill - Mining Method: underground #### QA/QC - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards, blanks #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

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.
