Why it applies: A significant portion of the resource (42.2 Mt) is in the Inferred category.
Evidence · table
“Inferred”
Context: 42,243
Stale Estimatenegative

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.
