The company also noted historic high-grade VMS intercepts and announced an upcoming site visit by the U.S. State Department's Minerals Program Director. Reasoning: The announcement identifies a new drill target via IP geophysics and highlights high-grade historic VMS intercepts, though no new assay results are provided in this release. - Positive factor: Geophysical survey identifies priority drill target - Positive factor: Historic high-grade intercepts reported - Positive factor: U.S. State Department interest in critical minerals - Negative factor: Results are based on historic drilling and geophysics, not new assays Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The company highlights its position as a leading explorer in Fiji with exposure to known regional mineralisation. Evidence · text > Thunderstruck, as a leading explorer in Fiji, is hosting part of the visit **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 includes a Qualified Person \(QP\) statement by Peter Duerden, RPGeo. Evidence · text > The technical information in this news release was reviewed by Peter Duerden, RPGeo, an advisor to Thunderstruck Resources, and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 \(NI 43-101\). ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.

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.
