Ann: Second drilling rig now operational at Rae Copper Project, page-5

I ran this though AI so please fact check.
I compared todays announcement with WCNs ASX announcement 23rd April 25 - Extensive sulphides observed in step out drilling at Rae Copper Project'.

Overall: todays announcement (higher %, more lith/form variety = stronger signals); similar consistency (basalt-hosted veins/fractures) validates model. Confidence increases for extensions.

See below breakdown.

Type

• New Surface: Outcrop (70%), Subcrop (30%).
• Old RC: Drill chips (100%).
• Comparison: Different (surface vs. subsurface); new is better for initial targeting (direct exposure), but worse for depth continuity (no downhole context). Similar in qualitative visual assessment.

Lithology

• New Surface: Massive basalt (70%), Brecciated basalt (15%), Amygdaloidal basalt (15%).
• Old RC: Implied massive basalt (majority; vein/fracture forms suggest brecciation).
• Comparison: New adds diversity (amygdaloidal = vesicle-hosted potential); better (broader lith variation indicates multiple mineralization styles); similar core (basalt-dominant).

Form

• New Surface: Vein/veinlet-disseminated (50%), Vesicle fill (25%), Fracture-related/coating (25%).
• Old RC: Fracture-related (30%), Disseminated (25%), Stringer veins (20%), Patchy (15%), Veins (10%).
• Comparison: Similar overlap (fracture/veins/disseminated); new is better (vesicle fill adds porosity traps, enhancing model); less patchy (more structured forms).

Percentages (%)

• New Surface: Avg Cc/Chalocite ~6.5% (max 17.5%); Avg Bn/Bornite ~0.3% (max 2%); Avg Mc/Malachite ~8% (max 17.5%).
• Old RC: Avg Cc ~1.2% (max 5%); Avg Bn ~0.7% (max 3%); Avg Mc ~0% (not quantified).
• Comparison: New higher avgs (Cc +5.3%, Mc +8%); better (stronger surface enrichment suggests supergene potential); similar minerals (Cc/Bn dominant).
