## Minestarters Atlas summary

Flynn Gold has reported successful metallurgical bottle roll leach testing at the Golden Ridge project in Tasmania, achieving an average gold recovery of 94% across 35 low-to-medium grade samples. These results confirm the consistency of extraction rates seen in previous higher-grade testing and suggest potential for expanding the project's recoverable gold footprint.

Reasoning: The 94% average recovery across 35 low-to-medium grade samples is highly encouraging for the economic viability of lower-grade mineralisation at Golden Ridge.

- Positive factor: High gold recovery \(94%\) in low-grade samples

- Positive factor: Consistency with previous high-grade testwork

- Positive factor: Potential to expand recoverable gold via lower-grade zones

- Negative factor: Bottle roll leach is an intensive/high-cost method; need to prove cost-effective alternatives

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**High Recovery**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route.

Why it applies: 94% gold recovery is within the exceptional band for gold extraction.

Evidence · text

> achieves 94% Golden Ridge recovery

**Bench Scale Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Only preliminary bench tests completed — no locked-cycle or pilot work.

Why it applies: The testing used a bottle roll leach method, which is a screening-level bench test.

Evidence · text

> used a bottle roll leach metallurgical processing test

## 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.
