## Minestarters Atlas summary

Western Exploration Inc. has filed an amended NI 43-101 technical report for its Aura Gold Silver Project in Elko County, Nevada. The amendment primarily corrects minor inconsistencies in cost tables and revises the base case all-in sustaining cost from US$1,152 to US$1,172 per gold ounce. The company re-confirms the previously announced preliminary economic assessment results, stating no material impact on capital costs or overall economic outcomes, and refers to an updated resource estimate.

Reasoning: The company filed an amended technical report to correct minor inconsistencies and a slight increase in the base case all-in sustaining cost, while re-confirming the overall PEA economics and referring to a prior resource update.

- Positive factor: Re-confirmation of PEA results

- Positive factor: Compliance with NI 43-101

- Negative factor: Minor increase in all-in sustaining cost
