## Minestarters Atlas summary

Copper Giant has announced an updated Inferred Mineral Resource for the Mocoa project in Colombia, totaling 1.12 billion tonnes at 0.51% CuEq. This update represents a 76% increase in tonnage and a 101% increase in contained copper-equivalent metal compared to the 2022 estimate at the 0.25% CuEq cut-off.

Reasoning: The update shows massive growth in tonnage and contained metal at the same cut-off grade compared to the 2022 MRE, significantly de-risking the scale of the project despite remaining in the Inferred category.

- Positive factor: Significant tonnage growth \(+76%\)

- Positive factor: Grade improvement \(+14% CuEq\)

- Positive factor: Contained metal growth \(+101% CuEq\)

- Positive factor: Large scale \(>1 billion tonnes\)

- Positive factor: NI 43-101 compliant

- Positive factor: QP/CP signed

- Negative factor: 100% Inferred category

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: Updated resource shows a +76% increase in tonnage vs 2022 MRE at the same cut-off.

Evidence · text

> shows a +76% increase in tonnage

**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 2022 MRE.

Evidence · text

> +14% increase in CuEq\* grade

**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 2022 MRE.

Evidence · text

> +101% increase in contained CuEq\* metal

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The entire 1.12 billion tonne resource is classified as Inferred.

Evidence · text

> comprises Inferred Mineral Resources

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

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

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

Evidence · text

> in accordance with National Instrument 43-101

**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: Qualified Persons \(Kevin Hon and Warren Black\) from APEX Geoscience signed off on the estimate.

Evidence · text

> The MRE was completed by Kevin Hon... and Warren Black... both of APEX.

## 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.
