## Minestarters Atlas summary

Global Energy Metals' partner, Metal Bank, has signed a non-binding MOU with Austral Resources to evaluate toll treatment of ore from the Millennium Project at the Rocklands processing facility. The project holds an Inferred JORC resource of 8.4Mt containing copper, cobalt, and gold, with significant expansion potential through a pending mining lease application.

Reasoning: The MOU provides a potential pathway to processing via the nearby Rocklands facility, de-risking the Millennium project's logistics, though the resource remains in the speculative Inferred category.

- Positive factor: Strategic alliance for toll treatment

- Positive factor: Proximity to processing facility \(19km\)

- Positive factor: Existing JORC resource

- Positive factor: Expansion potential via new mining lease

- Negative factor: MOU is non-binding

- Negative factor: Resource is 100% Inferred

Facts used in scoring: 9

## 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 Millennium project resource is stated as a 2012 JORC Inferred Resource.

Evidence · text

> Millennium holds a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate \(MRE\) of 8.4Mt @ 0.09% Co, 0.29% Cu and 0.12g/t Au

**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: Mr. Paul Sarjeant, P. Geo., is named as the Qualified Person for the release.

## 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.
