## Minestarters Atlas summary

Copper Giant Resources Corp. has filed an updated NI 43-101 technical report for the Mocoa copper-molybdenum project in Colombia. The updated Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate shows a 76% increase in tonnage and a 101% increase in contained copper-equivalent metal compared to the previous estimate.

Reasoning: The update shows massive growth in tonnage and contained metal, though the entire resource remains in the Inferred category.

- Positive factor: Tonnage growth of 76%

- Positive factor: Contained metal growth of 101%

- Positive factor: Grade improvement of 14%

- Positive factor: Large scale porphyry system

- Negative factor: 100% Inferred resource

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**Tonnage Growth**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Significant tonnage increase \(≥15%\) vs prior estimate with grade maintained or improved.

Why it applies: Tonnage increased by 76% compared to the previous MRE.

Evidence · text

> +76% increase in tonnage

**Contained Metal Growth**

Polarity: positive

Definition: True scale improvement — contained metal ounces/tonnes increased vs prior, accounting for both tonnage and grade changes.

Why it applies: Contained CuEq metal increased by 101% compared to the previous MRE.

Evidence · text

> +101% increase in contained CuEq\*metal

**Grade Improvement**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Average resource grade improved vs prior estimate — better deposit economics.

Why it applies: CuEq grade increased by 14% compared to the previous MRE.

Evidence · text

> +14% increase in CuEq\* grade

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: The technical report was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 standards.

Evidence · text

> prepared in accordance with the National Instrument 43-101

**All Inferred**

Polarity: negative

Definition: 100% of resource is Inferred category — very early stage, no engineering confidence.

Why it applies: The entire resource is reported as Inferred.

Evidence · text

> Inferred Mineral Resources of 12.7 billion pounds

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

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: Multiple Qualified Persons \(P.Geo, P.Eng\) are named and responsible for the report.

Evidence · text

> The Qualified Persons for the Technical Report are Michael B. Dufresne \(P.Geo, P.Geol, MSc\), Warren E. Black \(P.Geo, MSc\) and Kevin S. Hon \(P.Geo, BSc\)

## 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.
