The refining process, using alkaline sulphide leach and electrowinning, achieved a 99.7% antimony leach extraction rate. Reasoning: The successful refining of concentrate into high-purity metal is a major technical milestone that de-risks the project's ability to produce a high-value refined product rather than just a concentrate. - Positive factor: Successful production of high-purity \(99%+\) antimony metal - Positive factor: High leach extraction efficiency \(99.7%\) - Positive factor: Demonstrated pathway to capture more value chain vs selling concentrate - Positive factor: Critical mineral strategic importance - Negative factor: Requires additional optimization and feasibility-level studies Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **High Recovery** Polarity: positive Definition: Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route. Why it applies: 99.7% antimony leach extraction is exceptional. Evidence · text > achieved 99.7% antimony leach extraction **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: The process involves alkaline sulphide leach and electrowinning. Evidence · text > Using an alkaline sulphide leach followed by electrowinning **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: Garry Biles, P.Eng., is named as the Qualified Person. Evidence · text > Garry Biles, P.Eng., President & COO, is the Qualified Person **Multi-Domain Tested** Polarity: positive Definition: Variability across ore domains \(oxide, transition, fresh\) has been addressed. Why it applies: 2 distinct composites were tested ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.
