## Minestarters Atlas summary

Centamin has released a Pre-Feasibility Study \(PFS\) for the Doropo project, detailing 1.87Moz of probable gold reserves at 1.44 g/t. The study supports a 10-year life of mine with expected annual gold production of 173,000oz.

Reasoning: The announcement of a Pre-Feasibility Study \(PFS\) for the Doropo project provides significant de-risking by establishing probable reserves and a clear production profile.

- Positive factor: PFS completed

- Positive factor: Probable reserves established

- Positive factor: 10-year life of mine

- Positive factor: Clear path to DFS

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

#### Tags used in scoring

**Probable Reserve**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Indicated Resource with demonstrated economic viability after applying modifying factors.

Why it applies: category is "probable"

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**No QP/CP Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: No Qualified Person or Competent Person named — lower credibility for the estimate. A QP/CP should be a member of a recognized professional association with relevant experience.

Why it applies: no Qualified or Competent Person is named anywhere in the release

**PFS-Supporting**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Resource estimate prepared to support a Pre-Feasibility Study — requires adequate M&I component.

Why it applies: the release names the study this estimate supports

**DFS-Supporting**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Resource estimate prepared to support a Definitive Feasibility Study — requires high M&I confidence.

Why it applies: the release names the study this estimate supports

## 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.
