## Minestarters Atlas summary

Copper Giant Resources Corp. has announced the commencement of a Preliminary Economic Assessment \(PEA\) for its Mocoa copper-molybdenum porphyry project in Colombia. The project hosts an Inferred resource of 12.7 billion pounds of copper-equivalent at 0.51% CuEq within 1,120 million tonnes. Initial metallurgical testing has already indicated high recoveries for both copper and molybdenum.

Reasoning: The announcement marks a major project milestone \(commencing PEA\) for a large-scale porphyry system with high-grade metallurgical results, though the resource remains entirely in the Inferred category.

- Positive factor: Large scale copper-molybdenum porphyry system

- Positive factor: High metallurgical recoveries reported

- Positive factor: Commencement of PEA provides clear development roadmap

- Positive factor: Strong technical team appointed

- Negative factor: Resource is 100% Inferred category

- Negative factor: PEA is a preliminary economic assessment

Facts used in scoring: 5

## Classification and evidence

**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 12.7 Blbs CuEq resource is classified as Inferred.

Evidence · text

> Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them

**Maiden Resource**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: First formal MRE for the project — establishes baseline but typically exploration-stage with high Inferred component.

Why it applies: The document describes the MRE as the basis for the upcoming PEA, implying a recent/new resource definition.

Evidence · text

> the recently updated Mineral Resource Estimate \(MRE\)

**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: Edwin Naranjo Sierra is designated as the Qualified Person.

Evidence · text

> Edwin Naranjo Sierra... is the designated Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101

## 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.
