This intercept includes multiple higher-grade zones and confirms a robust copper-gold porphyry system within a large geophysical anomaly. The results are considered exceptional for early-stage exploration, with the system remaining open in all directions and at depth. Reasoning: The first deep drill hole at Passiflora delivered an exceptional 843.9m continuous intercept confirming a robust copper-gold porphyry system, with grades exceeding early-stage exploration thresholds and significant potential for a large, long-life deposit, despite the average grade being moderate for porphyry. - Positive factor: Confirmation of a large-scale copper-gold porphyry system - Positive factor: Exceptional intercept length of 843.9m of continuous mineralization - Positive factor: Multiple higher-grade zones within the main intercept - Positive factor: Grades exceed typical early-stage porphyry exploration thresholds - Positive factor: System remains open in all directions and at depth, indicating significant growth potential - Positive factor: Presence of multiple associated metals \(gold, molybdenum, zinc, lead\) - Positive factor: Copper grades increasing with depth - Positive factor: QA/QC procedures disclosed and QP signed off - Positive factor: Metal equivalent assumptions transparently disclosed - Negative factor: Upper 300m of core not assayed, representing a gap in initial data - Negative factor: Drill hole stopped short of planned depth due to equipment challenges - Negative factor: Overall average grade for the main intercept is moderate for a porphyry deposit - Negative factor: No true width disclosed for the intercepts - Negative factor: No cut-off grade stated for the reported intervals Facts used in scoring: 5 ## Classification and evidence **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 that standards, blanks, and duplicates were inserted at regular intervals, samples were processed by SGS, and a Qualified Person \(QP\) signed off on the technical information. Evidence · text > standards, blanks and duplicates were inserted at regular intervals as determined by Viscount's Silver Cliff "Silver Cliff Drill Program Procedures" by C. Ricks, an independent geologic consultant. The core samples were bagged and palletized by C. Ricks and shipped by Old Dominion Freight to SGS prep facility in Phoenix AZ. SGS added their QA/QC procedures. The samples then got shipped from SGS Phoenix facility to SGS analytical facility in Burnaby, B.C. Canada for ICP analysis with a method code description of: 4 Acid Digestion \(HCL/HCLO4/HF/HNO3\) ICP. Fire assay analysis for gold via FAA30V5 with a method code of Au, FAS, exploration grade, AAS. ... The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Harald Hoegberg PG, an independent consulting geologist who is a "Qualified Person" \(QP\) as such term is defined under National Instrument 43-101 **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The reported intercept lengths are downhole lengths, and no true width is provided in the document. Evidence · text > 843.9 metres of continuous copper-gold mineralization **Cut-off Undisclosed** Polarity: negative Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing. Why it applies: No cut-off grade is stated for the reported drill intervals.

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.
