The 2025 campaign intersected broad, continuous sulphide mineralization with internal high-grade zones, supporting a planned updated Mineral Resource Estimate for H1 2026. Reasoning: The drill results demonstrate significant strike extension and high-grade continuity at the CZ deposit, directly supporting the company's resource expansion objective. - Positive factor: Significant strike extension of known mineralization - Positive factor: High-grade intercepts within broad bulk-tonnage zones - Positive factor: Confirmation of geophysical anomalies with sulphide-rich mineralization - Positive factor: Strategic proximity to existing production infrastructure - Negative factor: Assays for remaining holes and rhodium results are still pending Facts used in scoring: 7 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Results extend known mineralization toward the Central and HGR deposits, confirming strike continuity. Evidence · text > Results extend known mineralization toward the Central and HGR deposits, confirming strike continuity **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 mentions that assays are pending and refers to the 2025 drill program, implying standard assay protocols are in place, though specific lab names for these new holes are not in the text. Evidence · text > Assays are pending from the remaining six holes ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 7. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (7) ### CZ2025-01 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/stillwater-critical-minerals-reports-wide-and-high-grade-near-surface-ni-cu-co-p--4f065ae1-8323-4b84-858e-749e9a5aa6a6#fact-drill-facts-0) Stillwater West · nickel #### Identity - Hole ID: CZ2025-01 - Project: Stillwater West - Commodity: nickel - Region: usa\_mt - Reported Region: usa\_mt - Ticker: PGE #### Geometry - Grade: 0.92 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 1.52 m - From: 43.3 m - To: 44.8 m - Intercept Depth: 43.3 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: CZ2025-01:43.3-44.8 #### 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.
