The exploration program, utilizing backpack diamond drilling and rock sampling, identified unexpected molybdenum and beryllium mineralization associated with the tungsten skarn. Reasoning: The program confirms skarn-style mineralization at a known site and identifies a new anomaly with critical metal byproducts \(Mo, Be\), though drill intercepts are currently narrow and low-grade due to the backpack drilling method. - Positive factor: Confirmation of skarn mineralization at past-producing mine - Positive factor: Discovery of new molybdenum and beryllium mineralization - Positive factor: Identification of new tungsten-skarn zone in SE anomaly - Negative factor: True widths unknown - Negative factor: Low grade/width of backpack drill intercepts Facts used in scoring: 13 ## Classification and evidence **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: Release mentions American Assay Lab \(AAL\) is certified/accredited and describes use of standards, duplicates, and blanks. Evidence · text > American Assay Lab \(AAL\) of Sparks, Nevada, which is a certified and accredited laboratory **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: Brett R. Marsh, CPG, is named as the Qualified Person. Evidence · text > approved by Brett R. Marsh, CPG ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 13.
