Leamington Project in Newfoundland. The program follows the receipt of prospecting permits covering a 30,000 hectare land package and aims to refine targets for future drilling in a VMS-hosted district. Reasoning: The company has commenced a systematic regional exploration program following permit approval, targeting VMS potential in a known district, though much of the target definition is based on historical data. - Positive factor: Receipt of prospecting permits for 30,000 hectare regional package - Positive factor: Systematic grid-based geochemical program underway - Positive factor: Presence of drill-confirmed VMS potential in target areas - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and accredited laboratory \(Eastern Analytical Ltd.\) disclosed - Negative factor: Target areas rely on historical Billiton/Rubicon data from 20+ years ago Facts used in scoring: 7 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release specifies use of ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory, standards, blanks, and duplicates. Evidence · text > Soil and rock samples, including standards, blanks and duplicates, will be submitted to Eastern Analytical Ltd. in Springdale, Newfoundland, an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Story-specific tag Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: Exploration targets are located in the Wild Bight Group, the host stratigraphy for the existing Pt. Leamington VMS deposit. Evidence · text > The target areas are in the Wild Bight Group, the host stratigraphy for the Company's 100% owned Pt. Leamington VMS deposit. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 7.
