- Sandstone Mineral Resource upgrade due mid-year with the Pre-Feasibility Study targeted for delivery in 2H'CY26
- Sandstone drilling is continuing with four rigs active (2x RC and 2x diamond drill rigs) completing the remaining infill drilling for PFS work streams, and extensional growth-focused drilling
Brightstar Resources Limited (ASX: BTR) (Brightstar) is pleased to announce results from ongoing diamond core (DD) and reverse circulation (RC) drilling programs at the Sandstone Gold Project, which hosts a current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 2.4Moz @ 1.5g/t Au.
The programs targeted infill drilling at several key deposits across the Sandstone Hub, including Bull Oak, Vanguard, Havilah, Achilles, and the Indomitable Camp. The diamond drilling has also provided key structural and geotechnical information, as well as metallurgical sample material, for utilisation in the ongoing PFS workstreams.
Brightstar's Managing Director, Alex Rovira, commented:
"The ongoing RC and diamond drilling programs at Sandstone continue to help improve the geological understanding of the project, and crucially de-risk the deposits in preparation the upcoming Sandstone PFS and future mine development.
From a growth perspective, the Bull Oak deposit has been a particular focus of recent programs and is identified as a deposit with genuine growth potential and scale. Drilling has been focused on infilling the areas below the existing Mineral Resource, so it is encouraging to see these wide zones of mineralisation surrounding narrow high-grade zones - occasionally exceeding 100g/t gold. The Achilles deposit at Montague is another deposit with significant mineralisation outside of the current Mineral Resource, with a large-scale infill and extensional program continuing at Achilles.
As part of the PFS workstreams, diamond drilling was completed at several deposits across the Sandstone Project. This drilling added key structural information which will be hugely important as we unlock the value and upside in these deposits and piece together the controls on mineralisation. The metallurgical and geotechnical data provided by these diamond drillholes will contribute to ongoing PFS work as we forge ahead with the delivery of a comprehensive study in the second half of the year."

TECHNICAL DISCUSSION
BULL OAK
The Bull Oak deposit hosts a current MRE of 2.5Mt @ 1.1g/t Au for 90koz Au, limited by sparse drilling below 100m vertical depth. Mineralisation is hosted by sheeted, shallowly east-dipping veins sets within a granodiorite intrusion, with further mineralisation hosted by banded iron units (BIFs) truncated by the intrusion. This geological setting is similar to that of Brightstar's nearby Shillington-Two Mile Hill deposit (MRE of 0.7Moz @ 1.5g/t Au).
The current program of RC and diamond drilling targeted areas below and adjacent to the existing resource, to facilitate an upgrade to the MRE, due mid-year.
ACN 100 727 491 brightstarresources.com.au ASX: BTR
A total of four diamond drillholes for ~1,000m were drilled from surface, primarily for structural and geotechnical data, as well providing mass for metallurgical test work for the Pre-Feasibility Study underway. A total of four diamond tails for 534m were completed to extend previous RC drill holes drilled in 2025 that failed to fully test the host granodiorite unit at depth. A total of 6 RC drill holes for 1,050m were drilled targeting extensions to BIF hosted gold mineralisation adjacent to the north-eastern contact with the granodiorite
A further 8 RC drill holes with diamond tails (RCDT) were planned as depth extensions beneath the existing mineral resource, targeting the main stockwork, sheeted quartz vein mineralisation historically mined in the main Bull Oak pit and historic workings. Drilling was designed to delineate the mineralised lodes and facilitate a Mineral Resource update incorporating these extensions. Assay results have been returned for 5 RCDT drill holes for ~2,000m.

VANGUARD
The Vanguard Camp at Sandstone hosts a MRE of 3.7Mt @ 1.8g/t Au for 217koz Au. Gold mineralisation at the Vanguard Camp is located along NW-SE trending structures within a differentiated dolerite unit.
At Vanguard North, the lode geometry is relatively simple, hosted within a single quartz vein dipping shallowly to the southwest. The vein is consistently present featuring variable, nuggety gold mineralisation, which is considered typical for this type of narrow vein-hosted deposit.
The larger Vanguard deposit consists of multiple mineralised lodes, predominantly dipping moderately to the NE, although flat-lying supergene lodes are also present. High-grade mineralisation intersected in the drilling is typically associated with quartz veining and abundant pyrite.
The current program of 4 diamond drill holes for 613m were drilled primarily for structural, geotechnical and metallurgical purposes to support future resource upgrades and provide data for the Pre-Feasibility Study underway.
Significant intercepts from the drilling include:
- 10.3m @ 6.80g/t Au from 138m, including 2m @ 25.1g/t Au from 144m in VNDD25001
- 6.76m @ 2.12g/t Au from 126.24m in VNDD25001

MUSKETEER
The Musketeer deposit is located with the Indomitable Camp, which hosts a total MRE of 8.2Mt @ 1.1g/t Au for 296koz Au
The Musketeer deposit hosts a modest MRE of 1.4Mt at 1.3g/t gold for 59koz, with mineralisation associated with a northeast-striking banded iron formation (BIF) within a mafic-ultramafic package, crosscut by northwest-southeast structures.
The current program of 11 RC drillholes for ~1,440m was designed to infill mineralisation within a portion of the current mineral resource, ensuring sufficient drill spacing for future MRE updates to support Indicated resource classification for inclusion within the upcoming PFS.
Further drilling is planned with additional assay results to be reported as received.
Significant results returned from recent infill drilling include:
- 5m @ 2.37g/t Au from 73m in INRC26004
- 3m @ 4.79g/t Au from 81m in INRC26005
- 11m @ 1.07g/t Au from 138m in INRC26005

Figure 8: Plan view map of the Musketeer RC drill locations
INDOMITABLE EAST
The Indomitable East deposit is situated within the Indomitable Camp and located 3km from the Musketeer deposit. The gold mineralisation at Indomitable East is hosted within a northwest-trending sequence of jaspititic banded iron formation, intercalated with deeply weathered ultramafic rocks. The BIF outcrops at surface in the area and dips steeply to the north. Mineralisation is typically characterised by a visible zone of pyrite+/-quartz veining associated with the band iron formation units and appears to increase when proximal to two interpreted cross cutting structures.
The current program of 2 diamond drill holes for 320m were drilled primarily for structural, geotechnical and metallurgical purposes to support future resource upgrades and provide data for the Pre-Feasibility Study underway.
Significant results from include:
- 19.05 @ 3.80g/t Au from 106m, including 1.02m @ 54.5g/t Au from 102.03m in INDD25007
- 14m @ 1.41g/t Au from 62m in INDD25008
Mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike, and there is opportunity to further grow the current mineral resource with additional drilling.

Figure 9: Plan view map of the Indomitable East DD drill locations
LORD NELSON
The Lord Nelson Deposit hosts a total resource of 5.6Mt at 1.6g/t Au for 291koz Au. The mineralisation at Lord Nelson is mostly within a granodiorite intrusion, the Lords Granodiorite, with a high-grade zone on the contact between the granodiorite and the ultramafic footwall. In general, the mineralisation trends north-northwest, dipping approximately 50° to the west increasing to 70° with depth and plunging to the south. The mineralisation is typically characterised by a visible zone of pyrite+silica+biotite+/-quartz veining that follows the ultramafic footwall contact.
The current program of 14 RC drill holes for ~2,500m was designed to infill mineralisation within a portion of the current mineral resource, ensuring sufficient drill spacing for future MRE updates to support Indicated resource classification.
Assay results for 10 RC holes for ~1,870m were reported on 18 March 2026. Assay results for the remaining 4 RC holes for 618m have been received with significant results including;
- 11m @ 1.04g/t Au from 50m in LNRC26005
- 5m @ 1.77g/t Au from 67m in LNRC26003
A total of 3 diamond drill holes for 637m have also been completed at Lord Nelson, primarily for structural, geotechnical and metallurgical purposes to support future resource upgrades and provide data for the Pre-Feasibility Study underway.
Assays remain pending for the 3 diamond drill holes.

HAVILAH
The Havilah and Maninga Marley deposits that comprise the Havilah Camp host a modest Mineral Resource of 1.2Mt @ 1.4g/t Au for 54koz Au and are located 2.5km south-west of Lord Nelson. The deposits are hosted by a northwest striking dolerite unit, bounded to the northeast by pillowed and amygdaloidal basalt, and to the southwest by ultramafic rocks.
The current program of 2 diamond drill holes for 212m was designed primarily for structural, geotechnical and metallurgical purposes to support future resource upgrades and provide further data for the Pre-Feasibility Study underway.
Significant intercepts from the drilling include:
- 3.9m @ 11.9g/t Au from 105m, including 0.98m @ 38.4g/t from 107.42 in HVDD25001
- 8.0m @ 4.32g/t Au from 31m, including 0.90m @ 16.7g/t from 36.5m in HVDD25002
- 0.8m @ 17.0g/t Au from 42m in HVDD25002
- 0.5m @ 23.9g/t Au from 44.3m in HVDD25002
- 0.5m @ 29.5g/t Au from 50.5m in HVDD25002

MONTAGUE-BOULDER
The Montague-Boulder deposit is located 70km north of the town of Sandstone and forms part of Brightstar's Montague Project. Mineralisation is observed in shallow WSW-dipping shear lodes, interpreted as thrust faults developed along flow boundaries within the basalt sequence, and extend eastward into a neighbouring granodiorite intrusion, the Montague Granodiorite. Near-surface mineralisation is significantly thicker, typically ranging from 15 to 30 metres, and likely due to in-situ supergene enrichment. In fresh rock, mineralisation generally measures 3 to 7 metres in thickness, with a high-grade zone of 1 to 3 metres wide.
The current program of 16 RC drill holes for ~1,900m was designed to infill mineralisation within a portion of the current mineral resource, ensuring sufficient drill spacing for future MRE updates to support Indicated resource classification.
An additional hole was drilled beneath the current mineral resource to test the potential for up-dip extension of an interpreted high-grade lode.
Significant assay results returned from infill drilling include;
- 3m @ 3.73g/t Au from 80m in MBRC26002
- 3m @ 2.24g/t Au from 107m in MBRC26001
The extensional drill hole intersected mineralisation at the expected depth with results including:
- 5m @ 1.67g/t Au from 119m in MBRC26016
A total of 6 diamond drill holes for ~1,000m have also been completed at Montague-Boulder, primarily for structural, geotechnical and metallurgical purposes to support future resource upgrades and provide further data for the Pre-Feasibility Study underway.
Assays remain pending for the diamond drill holes.

Figure 12: Plan view map of the Montague-Boulder RC and Diamond Drill Collars
ACHILLES
The Achilles deposit is located 1km south of Montague-Boulder, and just north of the historic Rosie open pit mine. Mineralisation at Achilles is broadly associated with the sheared western margin of the Montague Granodiorite which forms a NNE trending structural corridor also hosting several other historical gold prospects.
The mineralisation is associated with a series of moderately (55-60°) east dipping shear structures with quartz veining which host primary mineralisation and occur within the contact zone between granodiorite and mafic lithologies. Mineralisation extends to the near surface and in places, directly beneath the base of transported cover.
The latest phase of drilling at Achilles is designed to infill the current mineral resource and upgrade the classification of a significant portion of the resource from Inferred to Indicated.
This planned RC drilling program comprises a total of ~9,600m. Results have been received for 24 RC drill holes for ~2,000m.
Significant assay results returned from infill drilling include;
- 5m @ 5.34g/t Au from 102m in ACR26014
- 8m @ 1.53g/t Au from 154m in ACR26014
- 4m @ 3.05g/t Au from 183m in ACR26014
- 11m @ 1.01g/t Au from 36m in ACR26001
- 4m @ 4.50g/t Au from 82m in ACR26002
- 1m @ 10.5g/t Au from 107m in ACR26004
- 6m @ 1.86g/t Au from 114m in ACR26006
- 16m @ 1.29g/t Au from 122m in ACR26023
- 7m @ 1.13g/t Au from 27m in ACR26021
A total of 6 diamond drill holes for 960m have also been completed at Achilles, primarily for structural, geotechnical and metallurgical purposes to support future resource upgrades and provide further data for the Pre-Feasibility Study underway.

APPENDIX 1: 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. | Drilling carried out by Brightstar Resources Limited (BTR) | |
| • Samples were collected by reverse circulation (RC) and diamond (DD) drilling. | ||
| • RC samples were passed directly from the in-line cyclone through a rig mounted cone splitter. Samples were collected in 1m intervals into bulk plastic bags and 1m calico splits, which were retained for later use. | ||
| • From the bulk 1m sample, a 4m composite sample was collected using a split PVC scoop and then submitted to Intertek Laboratory (BTR) for analysis by Photon method. | ||
| • RC 1m splits were submitted if the composite sample assay values are equal to or greater than 0.2g/t Au. | ||
| • Diamond core sampling on HQ/NQ diamond drill core at mostly 1m intervals. Closer spaced sampling around specific mineralized zones or structures. Samples were submitted to Intertek Laboratory for analysis by fire assay. |

| • BTR Diamond drilling is drilled by Topdrill and Wallis Drilling diamond drilling rigs and support equipment suitable for the ground conditions and depth of drilling. HQ and NQ diameter drill core was obtained. In areas of unconsolidated ground, triple tube configuration was used to maximise core recovery. All drill core was oriented (where possible), using the Axis Champ Ori system. | ||
| 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. | • RC sample recovery for BTR and AME samples was qualitatively assessed and recorded by comparing drill chip volumes (sample bags) for individual metres. Sample depths were cross-checked every rod (6m). The cyclone was regularly cleaned to ensure no material build up and sample material was checked for any potential downhole contamination. Wet samples were recorded, although the majority of samples were dry. In the CP’s opinion, the drilling sample recoveries/quality are acceptable and are appropriately representative for the style of mineralisation | |

| • 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. | • The deposits are located within granted mining tenements; | |
| ○ Bull Oak (M57/663) | ||
| ○ Vanguard (M57/647) | ||
| ○ Indomitable East (M57/665) | ||
| ○ Musketeer (M57/665) | ||
| ○ Lord Nelson (M57/652) | ||
| ○ Achilles (M57/99) | ||
| ○ Montague-Boulder (E57/888 and M57/217) | ||
| • All are granted tenements are owned by 100% subsidiary companies of Brightstar Resources Limited and are held in good standing with no known impediments. | ||
| Exploration done by other parties | • Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. | • Modern exploration for gold in the Sandstone Greenstone Belt began with Western Mining Corporation (WMC) in the late 1970s through to the 1990s. WMC carried out 17 significant regional exploration programs and formed several joint ventures in the main Sandstone mines area and at Oroya, Hacks, and Bull Oak. After spending approximately $6M, WMC put its Sandstone assets out to tender, with Herald ultimately the successful bidder. |
| • Herald carried out extensive exploration throughout the project area and carried out open pit mining at Bull Oak and Oroya. The Sandstone tenements were then sold to Troy Resources NL (Troy). | ||
| • Troy undertook systematic exploration of the project area between 1998 and 2010, resulting in the discovery and |
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| subsequent mining of the Two Mile Hill, Bulchina, Lord Henry and Lord Nelson deposits. Troy ceased mining in August 2010 and the operations were placed on care and maintenance. |
• Early explorers in the Montague Ranges included Anaconda Australia Inc. (1966-67), followed by International Nickel Australia (1971-75) evaluating a Gabbro - banded differentiated basic complex believed prospective for copper and/or nickel such as the Dulith Gabbro, USA. Strong geophysical and mineralised anomalous was encountered, however, copper-zinc enrichment was also encountered in adjacent felsic stratigraphy at Ed's Bore prospect, which was followed-up by CRA Exploration (1983-1990) to intersect polymetallic VMS enrichments at Bevan prospect (not substantively pursued).
• At Montague, Western Mining Corporation (1976) conducted investigations for copper and gold including soil sampling and IP surveying, which was followed by CRA Exploration (1984-89) working concurrently with AMOCO Minerals Australia Company (1984) and Clackline Refractories Ltd (from 1985 - to later become Herald Resources) assessing/purchasing historic mine areas from Mr W.J. Griffiths of Sandstone. RAB drilling penetrating transported cover resulted in the virgin discoveries of NE Pit by AMOCO and Whistler deposit by CRA. Later noted explorers included Dalrymple Resources NL (1987-1990) intersecting gold at the Armada (Twister) prospect, and Arimco Mining (1990- 98) intersecting gold at Lyle prospect, Victory West prospect, and copper at The Cup prospect (not substantively pursued).
• The Montague Mining Centre produced approximately 150,000oz of gold commencing in 1986 at Caledonian and NE Pits (Clackline), and continued at Montague Boulder from 1988 |
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| (Herald), and was to close in 1993 after completion of the Rosie Castle open cut (Herald). Whistler open cut was mined from November 1990 (Polaris Pacific NL) and ore toll treated through the Herald mill. Little attention was paid to mineralisation other than gold. Gateway Mining in joint venture with Herald Resources continued exploration of the Montague Mining Centre, Gateway also targeting poly-metallic intrusion related - VMS models in the district from 2006. | ||
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. | • The Sandstone Project covers much of the Sandstone Greenstone Belt, a triangular belt interpreted to be a north-plunging antiform situated at the northern end of the Southern Cross Domain. The belt primarily comprises mafic volcanic and intrusive units, with subordinate ultramafic, BIF and siliciclastic sediments. |
| • Much of the residual greenstone belt regolith is overlain by depositional material including colluvium, sheet wash alluvium and aeolian deposits. The alluvium thins in the northern and eastern parts of the project area where underlying meta-sediments and granitoids are exposed at the surface. A lateritic horizon is observed across much of the belt. |
Bull Oak
• The Bull Oak granite is a porphyritic intrusion with a strike length of approximately 500m and a width of up to 150m. The intrusion has a depth of at least 250m and has relatively steep dipping boundaries. The intrusion trends north-east cutting across mafic rocks between the BIF units. The granite does not outcrop and is intensely kaolinised to clay plus quartz to a |
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| depth of approximately 60m below surface. The fresh granite is a medium grained, pale grey, biotite granodiorite with traces of pyrite. Mineralisation at the Bull Oak deposit is associated with north-west trending quartz reefs, which dip approximately 30 degrees to the north-east. |
Havilah
• The Havilah Mine area is underlain by a NW striking dolerite unit termed the Havilah Dolerite, bounded to the northeast by pillowed and amygdaloidal basalt, and to the southwest by ultramafic rocks.
• Within the mineralised part of the Havilah Dolerite, drilling has intersected dolerites and basalts of similar mineralogy suggesting the Havilah Dolerite is a differentiated mafic unit. Mineralisation is confined to the Havilah Dolerite close to the dolerite/basalt contact and is associated with quartz veins and stockworks within a north-dipping, NW striking mineralised shoot with a plunge of approximately 20 degrees to the north-west. Quartz-carbonate veins up to 0.5m wide have been intersected in drill core with recognisable selvedges to the mineralisation up to 10m in width. Sulphides occur both in the veins and the adjacent wall rocks and consist of dominant pyrite and arsenopyrite with minor pyrrhotite and trace chalcopyrite.
Lord Nelson
• Lord Nelson is hosted at the northern tip of a large granodiorite intrusion, that is more than 3 kilometres long and up to 800m wide. |
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| • The granodiorite has intruded mafic rocks to the west (hanging wall) and ultramafic rocks to the east (footwall). | ||
| • The mineralisation is mostly within the granodiorite intrusion, with a high-grade zone on the contact between the granodiorite and the ultramafic contact. | ||
| • In general, the mineralisation trends north-northwest, dipping approximately 50° to the west increasing to 70° with depth and plunges to the south. | ||
| • The mineralisation is typically characterized by a zone of pyrite + silica + biotite +/- quartz veining that follows the ultramafic footwall contact. The main Lord Nelson deposit which was mined by Troy is hosted within a zone of intermixed high-magnesium basalt and granodiorite intrusive rocks above a footwall ultramafic unit. |
Vanguard
• Drilling indicates the Vanguard mineralisation is hosted predominantly within mafic lithologies (dolerite). The average depth of weathering varies from 30 - 70m.
• Petrographic work by Alto has confirmed that differentiated dolerites and granophyres have been intersected in drill holes that host the gold mineralisation.
• Gold mineralisation is mainly associated with sulphidic quartz veins which occur as plunging shoots. The structures which host the mineralisation are interpreted from drilling to strike and have a shallow plunge to the NE.
Indomitable (Musketeer and Indomitable East) |
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| • The Indomitable Camp is located within an area of alluvium covering deeply weathered, mafic and ultramafic units and banded iron formation. | ||
| • The Musketeer deposit is located within the Indomitable Camp, in an area of alluvium covering deeply weathered, mafic and ultramafic units and banded iron formation. | ||
| • There is no outcrop at Musketeer. | ||
| • Gold mineralisation is associated with a southwest-northeast striking banded iron formation within a mafic-ultramafic package and northwest-southeast cross cutting structures. | ||
| • At Indomitable East the stratigraphy is subvertical and has an east-west strike. Two main geological units are observed being a northern deeply weathered ultramafic unit and a southern unit comprising interlayered banded iron formation within deeply weathered ultramafic. Weathered banded iron formation is exposed on the surface. Elsewhere there is no outcrop. | ||
| • At Indomitable East the gold mineralisation appears to be constrained to the banded iron formation/ ultramafic package. |
Achilles
• The Achilles deposit is located north of the historic Rosie open pit and includes direct extensions to existing mineralised zones along a strike distance of 500m. The mineralisation at Achilles/Rosie is broadly associated with the sheared western margin of the Montague Granodiorite which forms a NNE trending structural corridor also hosting the Airport, LA international and several other historical gold prospects. |
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| • Predominantly shallow oxide and supergene in nature, the mineralisation is associated with a series of moderately (55-60°) east dipping shear structures and quartz veining which host primary mineralisation and occur within the contact zone between granodiorite, dolerite and basalt lithologies. Mineralisation extends to the near surface and in places, directly beneath the base of transported cover. |
Montague-Boulder
• Mineralisation is observed in shallow WSW-dipping shear lodes, interpreted as thrust faults developed along flow boundaries within the basalt sequence, and extend eastward into a neighbouring granodiorite intrusion, the Montague Granodiorite. Near-surface mineralisation is significantly thicker, typically ranging from 15 to 30 metres, and likely due to in-situ supergene enrichment. In fresh rock, mineralisation generally measures 3 to 7 metres in thickness, with a high-grade zone of 1 to 3 metres wide. |

| • 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’). | • True widths are not confirmed at this time although all drilling is planned perpendicular to interpreted strike of the target lodes at the time of drilling. | |
| 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 figures in this report. |
