The results include a significant step-out intercept of 545 g/t Ag over 43.20m at the Yaxtché deposit and an initial discovery intercept of 314 g/t Ag at the new Atenea target. Reasoning: Strong high-grade silver intercepts in both step-out \(Yaxtché\) and new target \(Atenea\) holes, supported by QP sign-off. - Positive factor: High-grade silver intercepts - Positive factor: Step-out success extending known resource - Positive factor: Discovery of new exploration target \(Atenea\) - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with QP sign-off Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: QVD-414 is described as a step-out success extending the resource zone to the northwest. Evidence · text > QVD-414 – step-out success: 545 g/t Ag over 43.20 meters **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 a Qualified Person \(Rob van Egmond, P.Geo.\) has reviewed and approved the technical information. Evidence · text > Rob van Egmond, P.Geo., a “qualified person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information **Indicated Resource** Polarity: positive Definition: Reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling; continuity can be assumed. Basis for Probable Reserves. Why it applies: The document explicitly reports an indicated mineral resource of 45.3 million ounces of silver. Evidence · text > indicated mineral resource of 45.3 million ounces of silver **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: The document explicitly reports an inferred mineral resource of 4.1 million ounces of silver.

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.
