Minestarters Atlas analysis
Summary
Myriad Uranium Corp. has announced encouraging initial results from high-pressure slurry ablation (HPSA) testing conducted by DISA Uranium. The tests demonstrated that the technology can reduce rock mass by approximately 70% while achieving uranium recoveries in the fines concentrate of up to 90.6%.
Reasoning: Initial HPSA technology testing shows strong ability to concentrate uranium into a small mass fraction with high recovery and cleaner waste.
Positive factors
- Significant mass reduction (70%)
- High uranium recovery in fines (up to 90.6%)
- Successful radionuclide reduction (Ra-226 and Th-230)
- Effective pre-concentration potential
Negative factors
- Batch-scale testing only
- Requires scale-up to confirm commercial viability
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: Uranium recovery in fines concentrate reached 90.6%, which is strong for initial pre-concentration testing.
Evidence · text
“calculated recoveries of uranium in the fines concentrate were 83.9%... and 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, which is a preliminary scale.
Evidence · text
“subjected to initial HPSA testing 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")
Single Domain Onlynegative
Testing limited to one composite or domain — representativeness not established.
Why it applies: only one composite was 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.
