## Minestarters Atlas summary

Tudor Gold, American Creek's JV partner, has reported improved metallurgical results for the Goldstorm Deposit, specifically increasing gold recoveries to over 80% in the Lower CS-600 sub-domain. This was achieved by adding a cyanide leach step to the flotation tailings, producing a high-grade copper, gold, and silver concentrate.

Reasoning: The update demonstrates a significant improvement in gold recovery \(from ~64% to &gt;80%\) through the addition of a cyanide leach step on flotation tails, which is highly material for project economics.

- Positive factor: significant increase in gold recovery

- Positive factor: high-grade concentrate produced

- Positive factor: successful optimization via cyanide leach

- Negative factor: results are from batch tests \(lower scale maturity\)

Facts used in scoring: 5

## Classification and evidence

**High Recovery**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route.

Why it applies: Gold recovery of 80.2% is strong for the reported processing route.

Evidence · text

> combined gold flotation recovery plus cyanide extraction totaled 80.2%

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: Release mentions standard QA/QC sampling procedures maintained by SGS and Blue Coast.

Evidence · text

> Standard QA/QC sampling procedures are maintained by SGS and Blue Coast

**Bench Scale Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Only preliminary bench tests completed — no locked-cycle or pilot work.

Why it applies: The results are described as batch flotation tests.

Evidence · text

> The batch flotation tests achieved recoveries

## 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.
