**25.6 Data Validation

Data verification for the Stockade Mountain Project consisted of review and comparison of historical and current datasets, including technical reports, maps, assay certificates, and drill hole data provided by Bull Mountain Resources and Austin Gold. Historical data were previously compiled and verified as part of earlier work, including comparison of digital datasets to original assay certificates and available source documents. The information reviewed is derived from multiple operators and is incomplete in some instances; however, the available data were examined and reconciled where possible.

Assay certificates for the current drilling program were reviewed, and selected drill hole assay data were compared against original laboratory certificates with no discrepancies identified. Verification of the drill hole database included checks of collar, survey, assay, and geological data for consistency, completeness, and errors such as overlapping intervals or depth inconsistencies, with no errors identified in the populated datasets.

Independent verification sampling was conducted through collection and analysis of surface samples and re-analysis of selected drill core pulp samples. Analytical results from verification sampling are consistent with previously reported data within expected ranges for the type of mineralization present. Check assay results for current drilling samples show a high degree of correlation between original and verification analyses.

Based on the data review, verification procedures, and available QA/QC information, the data are considered adequate for use in this technical report.
