The company reported historical intercepts from holes KB-02 and KB-05 and identified a new prospective horizon named KB south. Reasoning: The announcement details the resumption of drilling and reports two specific intercepts from previous holes \(KB-02 and KB-05\) that confirm mineralization, alongside the identification of a new horizon \(KB south\). - Positive factor: Identification of a new prospective horizon \(KB south\) - Positive factor: Presence of high-grade VMS-style mineralization - Positive factor: QA/QC oversight by a P.Geo Facts used in scoring: 8 ## 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 supervision by Sylvain Lépine, M.Sc, P.Geo, a qualified person. Evidence · text > under the supervision of Sylvain Lépine, M.Sc, P.Geo. He is a qualified person **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling identified a new prospective horizon called KB south located 100m south of the KB horizon. Evidence · text > Hole KB-05 intercepted another prospective horizon located 100 metres south of KB horizon ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (8) ### KB-02 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/yorbeau-announces-beginning-of-drilling-program-at-kb-project-in-chibougamau-cam--ca15a6bd-aaba-431a-ac45-44d1b45c766f#fact-drill-facts-0) KB South · copper #### Identity - Hole ID: KB-02 - Project: KB South - Commodity: copper - Region: canada\_qc - Reported Region: canada\_qc - Ticker: YRB #### Geometry - Grade: 0.9 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 1.4 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: KB-02:0-1.4 #### QA/QC - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

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.
