Minestarters Atlas analysis
Summary
Myriad Uranium Corp. announced encouraging results from initial High-Pressure Slurry Ablation (HPSA) testing at its Copper Mountain Uranium Project. The technology successfully concentrated uranium into a fines fraction, achieving recoveries between 83.9% and 90.6% while significantly reducing the mass of material requiring further processing.
Reasoning: Initial HPSA technology testing demonstrates successful pre-concentration of uranium with high recovery and significant mass reduction, potentially lowering beneficiation costs.
Positive factors
- High uranium recovery in fines concentrate (up to 90.6%)
- Significant mass reduction (up to 87.9%)
- Successful liberation of uranium from coarse waste
- Reduction in radionuclide activity (Ra-226 and Th-230)
Negative factors
- Batch-scale testing only
- Requires further scale-up testing
Facts used in scoring: 3
Classification and evidence
High Recoverypositive
Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route.
Why it applies: Uranium recovery in fines concentrate reached 90.6%, which is exceptional for this type of pre-concentration test.
Evidence · text
“total percent recovery to the fines concentrate ranged from 83.9% to 90.6%”
Bench Scale Onlynegative
Only preliminary bench tests completed — no locked-cycle or pilot work.
Why it applies: Testing was conducted in a batch-style HPSA unit at a laboratory scale.
Evidence · text
“conducted by DISA Uranium™ Corporation... in a batch-style HPSA™ unit”
Mill Routeneutral
Processing via mill or concentrator (CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation).
Why it applies: the document describes a flotation route ("concentrate")
Multi-Domain Testedpositive
Variability across ore domains (oxide, transition, fresh) has been addressed.
Why it applies: 2 distinct composites were 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.
