Notable intercepts include 335.15 metres at 4.08% CuEq and 19.50 metres at 18.96% CuEq in hole DPDH059. Reasoning: Strong drill results from the Phase 4 program at Lunahuasi, featuring high-grade CuEq intercepts over significant widths. - Positive factor: High-grade copper-equivalent intercepts - Positive factor: Significant interval widths - Positive factor: Scale and grade continuity confirmed Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The release mentions hole 58 is helping to define a new zone at the northern limit of the current drill pattern. Evidence · text > hole 58 which is helping to define a new zone at the northern limit of the current drill pattern ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

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.
