The company has secured a DIA drill permit for up to 40 platforms and expects final drilling approval in early Q3 2025. Reasoning: The release provides encouraging surface sampling results and permitting updates for a prospective gold-copper skarn project, though it lacks drill-tested intercepts. - Positive factor: High-grade surface samples \(up to 22 g/t Au and 12% Cu\) - Positive factor: Strong gold-copper correlation - Positive factor: Permitting progress with DIA approval - Positive factor: Proximity to world-class Antamina mine - Negative factor: No drill testing completed to date - Negative factor: Surface sampling only \(not drill intercepts\) - Negative factor: No QA/QC insertion by company for channel sampling Facts used in scoring: 10 ## Classification and evidence **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 company stated that standards and blanks were not inserted by Tinka for the channel sampling. Evidence · text > Standards and blanks were not inserted by Tinka for the channel sampling **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The project is located 100 km from the world-class Antamina copper mine, which is used to support its potential. Evidence · text > located 100 km south of the world-class Antamina copper mine ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 10.

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.
