Methodology: Range is calculated using 30-day realized volatility via geometric Brownian motion (log-normal model). 68% band = ±1σ, 95% band = ±2σ. This is a statistical model, not a prediction. Past volatility does not guarantee future results. Not financial advice.

Investor takeaway: Investors should consider the implications of this surge in stock price, especially given the company's focus on resource exploration in a market that can be volatile yet rewarding.
