Group 1: Drilling Program Highlights - The 2025 program included 4,143 meters of diamond drilling, focusing on resource conversion, acid rock drainage characterization, and geotechnical investigations [6][30]. - Four infill drill holes targeting the outer margins of the deposit intersected continuous porphyry-style mineralization, expected to support the conversion of Inferred resources to Measured and Indicated categories [4][14]. - Resampling of historic core revealed a significant silver component in the northwest portion of the deposit, enhancing copper-equivalent values and indicating potential for resource upgrades [3][4]. Group 2: Resource Conversion and Assay Results - The drilling program successfully upgraded Inferred resources to Measured and Indicated categories, with all holes intersecting continuous mineralization below the PEA pit boundary [14][18]. - Notable assay results include hole BRG25-259, which returned 235 meters grading 0.31% copper equivalent, and hole BRG25-260, which returned 279 meters grading 0.20% copper equivalent [15][20]. - The re-assay program increased the dataset to 26,797 unique assay intervals, with 82.6% now including gold and silver analyses, significantly improving the quality of the dataset for future resource estimation [37][41]. Group 3: Environmental and Geotechnical Studies - Dedicated acid rock drainage and geotechnical drilling programs provided critical data for mine design and permitting, including the characterization of soil and rock properties [4][8]. - Preliminary static test results from the ARD holes indicate a transition to non-acid-generating rock with increasing distance from the deposit center, aiding in future mine planning [30][32]. - Baseline environmental studies continued, including fish habitat assessments and hydrometric station installations for water flow data collection [8].
