The results include new high-grade targets and confirm the presence of mineralisation across the Lyon and Orchy licence areas. Reasoning: The release reports significant high-grade gold grab samples \(up to 95.9 g/t Au\) and silver, identifying new targets, though the selective nature of grab sampling limits geological certainty. - Positive factor: High-grade gold grab samples \(up to 95.9 g/t Au\) - Positive factor: Visible gold observed in samples - Positive factor: Discovery of new high-grade prospects \(Chruitein Vein, Gleann Cailliach\) - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with ALS Global laboratory and QP sign-off - Negative factor: Results are from grab samples which are inherently selective and may not reflect true grade - Negative factor: Float samples are transported material and only indicate potential nearby mineralisation Facts used in scoring: 9 ## 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: Release mentions ALS Global laboratory, ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, and QP sign-off by David Pym. Evidence · text > All analytical work was undertaken by ALS Global, Ireland. ... in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 ... David Pym \(CGeol\) ... is the Qualified Person **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 95.9 g/t Au grab sample is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > Grab samples up to 95.9 g/t Au\* at River Vein ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 9.

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.
