Summary
Emerita reported metallurgical test results for its IBW Project using the Albion hydrometallurgical process, achieving 81% gold and 96% silver recovery from post-flotation material. This represents a significant improvement in silver recovery compared to the previously evaluated pyrometallurgical CLEVR process.
Reasoning: The Albion Process achieved high silver recovery (96%) compared to the previous 64% reported for the CLEVR process, while maintaining comparable gold recovery (~81%).
Positive factors
- Significant improvement in silver recovery compared to previous pyrometallurgical route
- Comparable gold recovery to previous technology
- Use of commercially proven Albion Process
- Reduces metallurgical risk by providing two viable processing alternatives
Negative factors
- Results are from post-flotation material, not whole-of-ore
Facts used in scoring: 2
Classification and evidence
High Recoverypositive
Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route.
Why it applies: 96% silver recovery is exceptional for a post-flotation stage.
Evidence · text
“96% recovery of silver”
Mill Routeneutral
Processing via mill or concentrator (CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation).
Why it applies: The Albion process involves ultra-fine grinding and oxidative leaching.

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.
