The 2025 program identified new high-grade copper-gold-silver showings in the newly discovered Highlands North zone and extended the known gold-bearing shear structure. Reasoning: The program successfully expanded the known footprint of a high-grade orogenic gold structure and discovered a new high-grade Cu-Au-Ag zone \(Highlands North\). High-grade grab samples \(up to 401.8 g/t Au\) demonstrate significant continuity and scale. - Positive factor: Bonanza Intercept - Positive factor: Step-Out Extension - Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed - Positive factor: Discovery of new high-grade zone Facts used in scoring: 10 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: Sample 2013421 returned 401.8 g/t Au, which is exceptionally high for an orogenic gold system. Evidence · table > 401.8 Context: 2013421 **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The program expanded the Highlands zone structural feature to a 1.0 km x 1.2 km area on recently acquired claims. Evidence · text > expanding the Highlands zone structural feature to a 1.0 km x 1.2 km area **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 additional QA/QC completed by Bureau Veritas Labs and describes specific analytical methods. Evidence · text > additional QA/QC completed by Bureau Veritas Labs ## 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.
