## Minestarters Atlas summary

Coda Minerals Limited's 2026 Annual Report details significant progress at its Elizabeth Creek Copper-Silver Project, including materially improved copper and silver recoveries of 94.8% and 98.2% respectively from its whole-ore chloride leach flowsheet. These metallurgical advancements led to a substantial increase in estimated project economics, with the March 2026 economic update showing a pre-tax NPV7 of A$2.25 billion and an IRR of 56%. The company also successfully raised A$19 million to fund the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study and advance regulatory approvals.

Reasoning: The annual report highlights significant technical and financial progress at the Elizabeth Creek project, including materially improved copper and silver recoveries from a new processing flowsheet, which has substantially enhanced the project's estimated economics. Successful capital raises provide funding for the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study, de-risking future development.

- Positive factor: Improved metallurgical recoveries for copper and silver

- Positive factor: Significant uplift in project economics \(NPV, IRR\)

- Positive factor: Successful capital raises to fund PFS

- Positive factor: Advancement of Pre-Feasibility Study \(PFS\) workstreams

- Positive factor: Formal gazettal of approvals Scoping Report

- Negative factor: Economic assessment is at Scoping Study level \(inherent uncertainty\)

- Negative factor: Cobalt removed from base-case economic model

- Negative factor: No new drill results \(grades/widths\) reported in this document

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\).

Why it applies: the document describes a flotation route \("flotation"\)

**Single Domain Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Testing limited to one composite or domain — representativeness not established.

Why it applies: only one composite was tested

## 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.
