# Arizona Gold & Silver Reports Up To 99% Gold Recovery From Agitation Leach And 84% Gold Recovery From Heap Leach Cyanide Processing Of Bulk Sample From The Philadelphia Project, Arizona Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/arizona-gold-silver-reports-up-to-99-gold-recovery-from-agitation-leach-and-84-g--3eaf6861-6176-4f4e-94ee-d91ebca19341 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/AZS/news/8278565487918525/arizona-gold-silver-reports-up-to-99-gold-recovery-from-agitation-leach-and-84-g Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-06-30T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Arizona Gold & Silver Inc. - Ticker: AZS - Exchange: TSX - Region: Arizona - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver - Document categories: Metallurgy - Extracted: 2026-08-20 21:18:42 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Arizona Gold & Silver reported successful metallurgical test results from a bulk sample at the Philadelphia gold-silver project. Gold recoveries reached up to 99% via agitation leach and 84% via heap leach using HPGR crushing, demonstrating strong potential for both high-grade and lower-grade ore processing. Reasoning: The results show high gold recoveries across two different processing routes \(agitation and heap leach\) on a bulk sample, with HPGR technology providing a clear metallurgical advantage. - Positive factor: High gold recovery in agitation leach \(up to 99%\) - Positive factor: Strong heap leach recovery \(84%\) - Positive factor: HPGR crushing demonstrated significant improvement over conventional crushing - Positive factor: Low cyanide and lime consumption in agitation tests - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with QP sign-off - Negative factor: Silver recovery in heap leach is relatively low \(37%\) Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **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 strict chain-of-custody protocols and a Qualified Person \(Gregory Hahn\) sign-off. Evidence · text > under strict chain-of-custody protocols **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: Gregory Hahn, a Certified Professional Geologist, is named as the Qualified Person.

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.
