Minestarters Atlas analysis
Summary
Tudor Gold has announced positive initial metallurgical results for the high-grade gold Supercell-One (SC-1) complex at the Treaty Creek Project. Flotation testing achieved up to 93% gold recovery and produced a 33.6 g/t gold concentrate, although deleterious elements like arsenic and antimony were detected.
Reasoning: Initial metallurgical testing on the new SC-1 complex shows strong flotation and POX recoveries, though concentrate quality is impacted by penalty elements.
Positive factors
- High flotation recoveries achieved (up to 93%)
- Saleable concentrate grade of 33.6 g/t gold
- Successful POX testing (>91% recovery)
- Discovery of new high-grade complex (SC-1)
Negative factors
- Presence of deleterious elements (arsenic, antimony, bismuth, mercury) in concentrate
- Significant gold locked in sulphides (42%)
Facts used in scoring: 4
Classification and evidence
High Recoverypositive
Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route.
Why it applies: Flotation recoveries reached up to 93% for gold.
Evidence · text
“achieving impressive recovery rates of 91-93% at the rougher stage”
Deleterious Elements Presentnegative · Story-specific tag
Penalty elements (arsenic, antimony, etc.) or refractory concerns noted in the release.
Why it applies: Concentrate contains arsenic, antimony, bismuth, and mercury.
Evidence · text
“the cleaner concentrate contains some deleterious elements such as 0.8% arsenic, 0.3% antimony, 0.005% bismuth, and 0.04% mercury.”
Refractory Orenegative
Ore requires oxidation/pressure treatment before recovery — a processing and recovery risk.
Why it applies: 42% of gold is locked in sulphides, requiring POX or flotation.
Evidence · text
“A significant portion of gold (42%) was found to be locked in sulphides.”

Reasoning: Cyanide leach recovery was relatively low, suggesting gold is locked in sulphides.
Negative factors
- Low recovery compared to flotation/POX
Evidence · text
“The cyanide leach at a primary grind of 75 microns recovered 46.8% gold.”
How Atlas produces this analysis
Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
