The trenching confirmed a second 1.8 km mineralized trend parallel to the Lewis South trend, with high-grade gold intercepts of up to 6.59 g/t Au. Reasoning: First-pass trenching results successfully confirmed a new 1.8 km mineralized trend parallel to the existing Lewis South trend, with high-grade intercepts and clear QA/QC disclosure. - Positive factor: Confirmation of a second 1.8 km mineralized trend - Positive factor: High-grade intercepts \(up to 6.59 g/t Au\) - Positive factor: Broad mineralization continuity - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and independent lab \(ALS\) disclosed - Negative factor: Apparent widths only \(trenching\) - Negative factor: Early-stage exploration \(no true width\) Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Trenching confirmed a second 1.8 km mineralized trend parallel to the known Lewis South trend. Evidence · text > confirming Second 1.8 km Mineralized Trend at Lewis Target **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 details use of blanks, duplicates, and independent ALS laboratory. Evidence · text > QA/QC procedures included the addition of blank and duplicate samples **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: Intervals are reported as trenched lengths rather than true thicknesses. Evidence · text > Intervals are trenched lengths rather than true thicknesses, which cannot be accurately estimated ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.

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.
