How GTFS Is Helping Thousands Repair Their Credit in 2025
TORONTO — In the wake of rising interest rates and stricter lending requirements, consumers across North America are turning to GTFS to help rebuild and protect their credit scores. Following the success of last month's public release on 'How Do I Increase My Credit Score?' , GTFS is now spotlighting its comprehensive Credit Optimization Program—a suite of legal, transparent, and highly effective services designed to empower individuals and small businesses to take control of their creditworthiness.
The program has helped thousands improve their scores by 50 to 200 points, proving essential to those locked out of the traditional financial system.
From Bad Credit to Better Futures: Real Stories of Recovery
'Our mission is about more than improving credit scores,' said Sophia Brar, Chief Financial Officer at GTFS. 'It's about restoring dignity and access to financial opportunities for people who've been ignored or penalized by outdated credit practices.'
✅ Case Study – Alberta : A single mother of two in Edmonton was denied a mortgage due to a 582 credit score caused by medical debt and a past divorce. Within seven months of enrolling in GTFS's Credit Optimization Program, her score reached 711. She's now a homeowner.
✅ Case Study – Florida : A small-business owner near Miami had maxed out credit cards during the pandemic. With GTFS negotiating a settlement and guiding utilization management, his score rose from 618 to 750. He qualified for a $150,000 business expansion loan in February 2025.
What Sets GTFS Apart in Credit Repair and Optimization?
Unlike fly-by-night 'credit fixers' or gimmick-based apps, GTFS offers a holistic, compliance-driven approach. Every step is designed to align with Canadian and U.S. credit bureau policies, lender guidelines, and banking compliance protocols.
The GTFS Credit Optimization Program includes: Complete tri-bureau credit analysis (Equifax, TransUnion, Experian)
Dispute resolution and account reconciliation
Personalized financial coaching and debt strategy planning
Soft-pull prequalification mapping (to avoid hard inquiries)
Positive tradeline development and placement
Ongoing monitoring and credit score tracking
'We don't make promises we can't legally or ethically keep,' said Emily Johnson, Senior Credit Analyst. 'But we guarantee our commitment to education, transparency, and results.'
Helping First-Time Homebuyers Qualify for Mortgages
Many credit repair services stop at increasing a number. GTFS goes further, helping clients qualify for real financial milestones , such as homeownership.
In partnership with Canadian mortgage brokers and U.S. loan officers, GTFS now offers Pre-Approval Credit Readiness Plans tailored for: First-time homebuyers
Gig economy workers with irregular income
New immigrants building credit from scratch
Recently divorced individuals starting over
✅ Case Study – Ontario : A 33-year-old first-time buyer in Mississauga was stuck at 634. With GTFS guidance, her score reached 701 in six months. She secured a 3.9% fixed-rate mortgage and moved into her home in March 2025.
Tools for Professionals: Agents, Brokers, and Developers
Due to low credit scores, real estate agents, lenders, and auto financing professionals often lose clients. GTFS offers white-label support and credit planning tools to help these professionals keep deals alive rather than lose them to the credit bureau system.
For brokers and agents, GTFS provides: Branded client referral portals
Real-time credit progress reports
Letters of explanation and credit rationale templates
Group rate access for client programs
Compliance training on legal credit assistance
'Our platform was built with professionals in mind,' said Willard Dunne, Head of Operations. 'We help you turn rejected leads into successful closings.'
Credit Optimization in the Age of AI-Based Lending
With banks and lenders using automated underwriting tools more than ever, minor improvements in a score can significantly affect loan approval. GTFS's tech-forward process includes predictive credit modelling and a proprietary scoring trajectory tool that simulates how actions like payments, deletions, and new tradelines will impact scores over 3–12 months.
'We use a predictive model that shows clients how today's actions will affect their credit 90 or 180 days from now,' said David Clark, IT Director at GTFS. 'It's not about fixing the past—it's about proactively managing your financial future.'
Credit Education for the Long Run
The GTFS mission includes ongoing credit education so clients can maintain their improvements. Every enrollee receives access to: Monthly credit health webinars
Budgeting and finance tracking tools
Customized action checklists
Credit literacy coaching for youth and families
✅ Client Testimonial : 'GTFS didn't just fix my credit—they helped me understand how it works. I've taught my kids about credit cards, interest, and savings. We're building generational knowledge.' – Tanya M., Hamilton, ON.
Expansion into the U.S. and New Services for 2025
Due to overwhelming demand, GTFS is expanding its Credit Optimization Program across the United States this summer. New partnerships with fintech firms and U.S.-based credit unions will allow for cross-border services and hybrid plans that work seamlessly in both Canada and the U.S.
Planned features for 2025 include: AI-enhanced credit simulations
Digital 'score tracking passports' for immigrant professionals
Business credit builder programs for LLCs and small firms
Crypto-repayment reporting tools to help build credit

‘Unjustified and unlawful': Canadian officials react to Trump's threat to double steel, aluminum tariffs
The federal minister tasked with Canada-U. S. trade relations said Ottawa has 'taken note' of U.S. President Donald Trump's latest threat to increase tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50 per cent , but stopped short of announcing any formal retaliatory measures, at least for now. Dominic LeBlanc, the federal minister whose portfolio includes Canada-U. S. trade, said in a statement on the social media platform X Saturday that the government will remain 'resolute in defending our workers and our communities.' 'We can give ourselves far more than the United States can take from us,' he wrote. We can give ourselves far more than the United States can take from us. That's why this Monday, the Prime Minister will meet with Premiers in Saskatoon with one goal - build one Canadian economy out of thirteen, and get big, nation-building projects built faster. (2/3) In a speech in Pennsylvania Friday, Trump said that the increased tariff figures would 'even further secure the steel industry in the United States.' 'Nobody's going to get around that,' Trump said. Industry minister Mélanie Joly, who formerly served as foreign minister, said that Canada is 'fighting' the 'unjustified and unlawful tariffs with our own retaliatory actions, strong domestic support packages, and big moves to diversify our trade.' President Donald Trump says he's going to double the tariff rate on steel to 50 per cent, a dramatic increase that could further push up prices for a metal used to make housing, autos and other goods. (AP Video / May 30, 2025) She added that she plans to meet with steel and aluminum producers and workers over the coming days to 'advance' a plan in response to Trump's pledge. Terry Sheehan, the Liberal MP who represents the steel-dependent riding of Sault Ste. Marie , wrote that the government will 'not back down' in the face of tariffs that 'threaten to further damage the vital relationship between our two countries.' Sault Ste. Marie's mayor, Matthew Shoemaker, said Trump is 'trying to cripple our economy.' Maninder Sidhu, the newly minted minister of international trade, wrote that the government will 'move on terms … strategically, thoughtfully, and without delay.' Sidhu, a Brampton MP first elected in 2019, said that 'trade diversification' is his 'top priority.' 'Canada has what the world needs and we're ready to deliver,' Sidhu wrote. Meanwhile, United Steelworkers, which represents over 220,000 workers in Canada, said that the 50 per cent tariff would 'completely shut us out of the U.S. market' and called on the government to 'move quickly to strengthen domestic demand.' In March, U.S. President Donald Trump put 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 'This isn't trade policy — it's a direct attack on Canadian industries and workers,' national director Marty Warren said of the president's recent announcement. 'Thousands of Canadian jobs are on the line and communities that rely on steel and aluminum are being put at risk. Canada needs to respond immediately and decisively to defend workers.' The Canadian Steel Producers Association, a trade group, said in a statement that the government must immediately 'fully reinstate retaliatory steel tariffs to match the American tariffs and to implement as quickly as possible new tariffs at our own borders to stop unfairly traded steel from entering Canada.' In March, Trump put 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to the United States. Trump used Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 to impose steel and aluminum duties and said it will help bring manufacturing back to the United States. Canada is the largest steel supplier to the United States, accounting for nearly 25 per cent of all imports in 2023. About a quarter of all steel used in America is imported. Earlier this week, a three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled Trump does not have the authority to wield tariffs, a pause that was subsequently lifted by a federal appeals court Thursday. A Leger poll from earlier this month found that nearly 70 per cent of Canadians are in favour of the federal government imposing dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. The poll also found that Canadians are reducing the number of U.S. products they're buying in stores as a result of the ongoing trade war. With files from The Canadian Press

Ontario inks trade deals with Saskatchewan and Alberta ahead of meeting with Carney
SASKATOON - Alberta and Saskatchewan signed agreements with Ontario on Sunday to remove trade barriers ahead of a meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney to hash out a plan they hope will supercharge the economy. The memorandum of understanding between Saskatchewan and Ontario sees both provinces mutually recognize each other's goods, workers and investment, while a statement from the Alberta government says its MOU with Ontario aims to improve the free flow of goods and services between the two provinces. The Alberta statement also says the agreement will simplify requirements for regulated professions such as skilled trades, making it easier for professionals to work across provincial boundaries. Both deals, which were signed in Saskatoon ahead of a first ministers meeting in the city Monday, pledge to advance measures that would see willing provinces allow the sale of alcohol directly to consumers. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said the deals help grow provincial economies as U.S. President Donald Trump threatens more tariffs on Canadian steel. 'We're going to band together,' Ford said when talking about the agreement with Saskatchewan. 'We've never been attacked by any leader in the world like we have by President Trump. He doesn't give two hoots about Canada.' '(But) he's going to have a rude awakening. We're going to fight like we've never fought before.' It's Ford's latest deals with provinces to open trade, measures he says could unlock $200 billion in economic gains. Alberta said its agreement with Ontario also welcomes the possibility of Ontario joining the New West Partnership Trade Agreement, which has worked to streamline regulations and standards across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. 'It's time to stop letting outdated rules hold us back and show Canadians what real economic leadership looks like,' Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said in a news release Sunday. The premiers are meeting Monday with Carney to discuss major nation-building projects that could boost the economy. Ford said the prime minister needs to remove regulations to make it easier to build projects. That includes scrapping the Impact Assessment Act, he said. 'It all depends on the speed right now (in getting projects built),' Ford said. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said he's hoping for a port-to-port corridor in Western Canada to ship more goods out of northern B.C. and Hudson Bay in northern Manitoba. 'It's the largest single opportunity that I've seen in my lifetime,' Moe said. 'All we need to do is come together, and then stand by side by side and defend the opportunities we have from a trade perspective. Defend them like hell.' Building more oil and gas pipelines must be part of Canada's future, Moe added. 'If we truly are going to become the strongest economy in the G7 nations, if we truly are going to become a global energy superpower, it means we need to open up the opportunity for all of our industries,' Moe said. 'I think (Carney) is aware that there's a feeling of alienation in certain areas of the nation.' Both Alberta and Saskatchewan have long had grievances with former prime minister Justin Trudeau, who they say made it difficult for the industry to build energy projects. Smith has said more pipelines are the only way to get more products to market efficiently and without one, there could be a national unity crisis. She has called on Carney to scrap the oil and gas emissions cap and clean electricity regulations, repeal industrial carbon pricing and overhaul regulations. But getting a pipeline through Quebec might be difficult. The province had opposed the former Energy East oil pipeline from Alberta and rejected the GNL Quebec project in Saguenay in 2021. However, Quebec Premier François Legault said last month he's open to some projects. Ford said all provinces must be on the same page for any pipeline to move forward. 'I hope (Legault) is going to bring a pipeline through,' he said. 'Last time I checked, Quebecers drive cars, they need gas.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 1, 2025.

PLS PROJECT WINTER DRILLING DELIVERS POSITIVE RESULTS AT SALOON EAST
PERTH, Australia, June 2, 2025 /CNW/ - Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX: PDN) (TSX: PDN) (OTCQX: PALAF) ("Paladin" or the "Company") is pleased to advise it has successfully completed a winter exploration program at the Patterson Lake South (PLS) high-grade uranium project in the Athabasca Basin region of Saskatchewan, Canada. The winter program was carried out in line with the Company's strategic objective to identify additional uranium mineralization outside of the Triple R deposit within the largely underexplored 31,039-hectare PLS project. The results represent the strongest radioactivity identified outside of the Triple R Deposit at PLS. Twenty drillholes totalling 7,102.9m were completed between February and May 2025, with eleven drillholes targeting the Saloon East area, 3.5km southeast of the Triple R deposit (Figure 1 and Table 1). All eleven drillholes at Saloon East intersected highly elevated radioactivity in multiple zones and over significant widths with downhole gamma probe peaks up to 51,303 counts per second (cps). Radioactivity across the Saloon East area has been defined by drilling in two areas separated by 550m (Figure 2), between 200m and 420m vertically from surface within a consistent package of steeply southeast dipping, hydrothermally altered and structurally deformed basement rocks. Drilling Highlights Twenty exploration drillholes between February and May, totalling 7,102.9m Drilling was primarily focused at Saloon East to target elevated radioactivity intersected in 2024 Saloon East – Eleven drillholes completed, encountering highly elevated radioactivity associated with strong hydrothermal alteration, including: PLS25-688A – 41.2m of total composite radioactivity, including 12.3m of continuous radioactivity averaging 3,582 cps with a maximum of 13,657 cps PLS25-693 – 51.0m of total composite radioactivity, including 37.2m of continuous radioactivity averaging 4,761 cps with a maximum of 34,636 cps PLS25-696 – 56.7m of total composite radioactivity, including 11.5m of continuous radioactivity averaging 8,957 cps with a maximum of 51,303 cps PLS25-698 – 25.2m of total composite radioactivity, including 12.5m of continuous radioactivity averaging 4,198 cps with a maximum of 27,730 cps PLG-3 – one reconnaissance drillhole 100m west of the R1515W orebody intersected intensely altered basement rocks with anomalous radioactivity: PLS25-704 – 53.5m of total composite radioactivity, including 32.6m averaging 2,116.7 cps with a maximum of 5,133.3 cps Paladin CEO, Ian Purdy said: "Our Canadian team are very encouraged by the initial results we are seeing at Saloon East. The drilling results at Saloon East represent the strongest radioactivity intersected on the PLS property to date outside of the Triple R deposit. All eleven Saloon East drillholes completed to date in 2025 intersected radioactivity and have provided exciting results over significant core lengths. The widespread presence of elevated radioactivity and hydrothermal alteration suggests that we are exploring a significant mineralised system." Overview of the Saloon Trend The Saloon Trend is a linear, multi-kilometre long, southwest-northeast trending structural zone up to 1km in width, that is parallel to and located 3.5km south of the shear zones that host the Triple R deposit within the Patterson Lake Conductive Corridor. The Saloon Trend has been a major focus of the 2024 and 2025 exploration drilling, with 27 drillholes completed along 8.8km of its strike length. Drilling in August 2024 in the eastern portion of the Saloon Trend intersected anomalous radioactivity in three drillholes, PLS24-680, 682 and 684B, in what was subsequently termed Saloon East. Drilling in the first half of 2025 followed up on the August 2024 results at Saloon East and intersected highly elevated radioactivity, with notable intercepts in drillholes PLS25-696 and 698. Drilling along trend to the northeast intersected a thick zone of elevated radioactivity in PLS25-693, leaving a highly prospective 550m long untested zone between the two established zones of radioactivity.

Kanan Sarioglu is the VP Exploration for Paladin Canada and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves'. Mr. Sarioglu consents to the inclusion in this document of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears. The drilling and exploration results including verification of the data disclosed, has been completed by Kanan Sarioglu following NI 43-101. Mr. Sarioglu has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release. The design of the drilling programs and interpretation of results is under the control of Paladin Canada's geological staff, including qualified persons employing strict protocols consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Natural gamma radiation that is reported in this news release was measured in counts per second every 10cm throughout the length of each drillhole, in the up and down direction, using a Mount Sopris 2PGA-1000 single gamma probe. Results presented were derived from the up-hole data only. Prior to drilling, the accuracy of the 2PGA-1000 gamma probe was confirmed using a historical calibration drillhole on the PLS property. The reader is cautioned that gamma probe readings are not directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials. All intersections are down-hole depths. All depths reported of core interval measurements including radioactivity and mineralization intervals widths are not always representative of true thickness.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data (Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.) Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. Results reported in this announcement consist of downhole radioactivity measured using a 2PGA-1000 gamma probe The 2PGA-1000 gamma probe records radioactivity in counts per second (cps) every 10 cm throughout the entire length of the drillhole in both the up and down directions, at a speed of approximately 6 m/minute Gamma probe measurements are made within the drill rods The 2PGA-1000 gamma probe comes calibrated from the manufacturer and is checked on site at Patterson Lake South using a historical calibration drillhole Drilling techniques Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). All drilling reported in this release was completed using a Zinex A5 core drill In select drillholes with poor ground conditions at the top of bedrock HQ (63.5 mm) diameter coring was performed, but drillholes are primarily NQ (47.6 mm) diameter, standard tube Drill core is orientated by the logging geologist, with orientation marks provided by a REFLEX ACTIII Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. Drill core recovery is not relevant to this release as it pertains to in-situ gamma probe results Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. All core drilled at the PLS project has been geologically and geotechnically logged in detail Drill core relevant to this news release has not been logged in a level of detail to support resource estimation or mining studies as these are exploration drillholes Logging is qualitative in nature core photos have been collected for all drill core Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. Not relevant to this release Quality of assay data and laboratory tests The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. Radioactivity measurements in this release were recorded using a 2PGA-1000 single gamma probe manufactured by Mount Sopris The gamma probe comes calibrated from the manufacturer, and Paladin has an on-site check drillhole which is used to confirm the probe accuracy prior to the start of every drill campaign Radioactivity measurements were recorded every 10 cm Drillholes are surveyed in the down and up directions, effectively duplicating the results, which are compared for any discrepancies after surveying Verification of sampling and assaying The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes. Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Discuss any adjustment to assay data. Significant intersections have not been verified by independent or alterative company personnel No holes have been twinned Gamma probe data was collected at the drill by Paladin contactors, then the raw data was directly issued to the Paladin technical team All probe data is converted to Excel format and stored in Paladin's drillhole database Location of data points Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Specification of the grid system used. Quality and adequacy of topographic control. All drillhole collars are positioned using a Trimble real time kinematic GPS system All coordinates are in UTM NAD83 Drillholes are aligned to the planned azimuth and dip using a TN-14 azimuth aligner A final collar position is collected using the Trimble GPS once the drill has moved off the site Drillhole azimuth and dip information is measured every 50 m during drilling using a REFLEX EZ-Trac The PLS property has a detailed digital terrane model to provide topographic control Data spacing and distribution Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied. Pierce point spacing for exploration drilling can vary between 15 to 50 m depending on the geology and level of radioactivity encountered Drillhole pierce point spacing is considered appropriate for the current exploration stage of drillholes in this release Orientation of data in relation to geological structure Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. Drilling orientations are generally sub-perpendicular to the interpreted dip of the geology, but there is limited knowledge of the geology in exploration areas Occasional drillholes will be orientated parallel to features of interest to test their depth extent It is noted within the release that all radioactive intervals are core lengths and not true widths Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Not relevant to this release Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. No audits or reviews of the data presented in this release have occurred Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results (Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.) Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary Mineral tenement and land tenure status Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. Drilling presented in this release was completed on mineral claim S-111376 which is 100% owned by Fission Uranium Corp a subsidiary of Paladin Energy Ltd. All claims are in good standing and all necessary permits for drilling and geophysical surveys have been received Exploration done by other parties Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. The PLS project has been explored by a number of historical exploration companies including Uranerz Exploration and Mining Ltd., Hudson Bay Exploration and Development and Canadian Occidental Petroleum Ltd. There are historical drillholes on the property, none of which have tested the areas presented in this announcement Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. The target deposit type is unconformity-associated high-grade uranium, hosted at the base of the Athabasca Basin or underlying metamorphic basement rocks Drill hole Information A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole down hole length and interception depth hole length. If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. This information is included in Table 1 of the announcement No material information has been excluded Data aggregation methods In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. Radioactivity measurements are recorded every 10 cm throughout the drillhole length, no weighting is applied Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg 'down hole length, true width not known'). All intervals are down hole lengths Due to the early-stage nature of these results, true widths are not known at this time Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. Refer to the figures in the announcement Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. All relevant exploration data has been reported Other substantive exploration data Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. All relevant exploration data has been reported Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.
