The resource is split between the Aurora North deposit \(8.5 Mt @ 0.4% Ni\) and the Aurora South deposit \(2.0 Mt @ 0.65% Ni\). Reasoning: The announcement of an updated MRE for a nickel project with 10.5Mt at 0.44% Ni provides significant geological baseline for the Aurora project. - Positive factor: Indicated resource established for both North and South deposits - Positive factor: Near-surface mineralization profile - Positive factor: NI 43-101 compliant with named QPs Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Indicated Resource** Polarity: positive Definition: Reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling; continuity can be assumed. Basis for Probable Reserves. Why it applies: The MRE is classified in the Indicated category. Evidence · text > The MRE has been classified in the Indicated category **NI 43-101 Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard.

Evidence · text > prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive 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: Charley Murahwi and Chitrali Sarkar are named as the Qualified Persons. Evidence · text > Charley Murahwi, M.Sc., P.Geo., FAusIMM and Chitrali Sarkar, M.Sc., P.Geo. from Micon International Limited are the Qualified Persons \(QPs\) **Cut-off Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison. Why it applies: Economic parameters including mining and processing costs are provided, though a specific single cut-off grade value is not explicitly stated as a single number, the parameters used for the MRE are disclosed. Evidence · text > The economic parameters were in CAD and used metal prices of $12.67/lb Ni, with metallurgical recovery of 77% **Resource Update** Polarity: neutral Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress. Why it applies: The source explicitly discloses a revised resource estimate Evidence · text > Updated Mineral Resource Estimate ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.

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.
