Summary

Meridian Mining announced highly positive results from the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for its Cabaçal gold-copper-silver project in Brazil, reporting an after-tax NPV5 of USD 2.09 billion, an IRR of 108%, and a payback period of 0.9 years. The study outlines a 13.9-year mine life with average annual production of 183,526 AuEq ounces in the first five years at an AISC of USD 715/oz AuEq. Initial capital expenditure is estimated at USD 322 million, and pre-construction activities are already underway.

Reasoning: The Definitive Feasibility Study for Cabaçal demonstrates robust economics with a high NPV, IRR, and short payback period, supported by an updated mineral reserve and optimized mine plan, despite some cost increases. The project is advancing rapidly towards construction.

Positive factors

  • High NPV5 of USD 2.09 billion (Base Case)
  • Exceptional IRR of 108% (Base Case)
  • Very short payback period of 0.9 years (Base Case)
  • Low LOM AISC of USD 1,056/oz AuEq
  • Significant average annual production of 183,526 AuEq in first 5 years
  • Updated and larger Mineral Reserve statement
  • Optimized mine plan and improved metallurgy
  • QP/CP signed off on the study
  • NI 43-101 compliant study
  • Pre-construction activities and financing efforts are well underway
  • Installation Licence for power line granted

Negative factors

  • Initial capital cost increased compared to PFS
  • Operating costs increased compared to PFS
  • Potential for license amendment required for increased mined material volumes beyond initial plan

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Facts used in scoring: 39

Classification and evidence

DFS-Supportingneutral

Resource estimate prepared to support a Definitive Feasibility Study — requires high M&I confidence.

Why it applies: The document is a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) announcement, which is the highest level of study before construction.

Evidence · text

“Meridian Mining's Definitive Feasibility Study for Cabaçal Delivers After-Tax NPV5 of USD 2.09 Billion, 108% IRR, and 0.9 Year Payback”

QP/CP Signedpositive

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: The DFS study was authored by independent Qualified Persons and includes a list of QPs responsible for different aspects of the study.

Evidence · text

“The DFS Study has an effective date of September 15, 2026. It was authored by independent Qualified Persons and is prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The following Qualified Persons ("QPs") are responsible for the DFS Study and have reviewed the information in this news release that is summarised from the DFS Study in their areas of expertise:”

NI 43-101 Compliantpositive

Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 (Canada) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: The DFS study explicitly states it is prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101.

Evidence · text

“It was authored by independent Qualified Persons and is prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.”

Proven Reservepositive

Measured Resource with demonstrated economic viability after applying modifying factors.

Why it applies: The document reports a Proven Mineral Reserve of 54.91 Mt at 0.62 g/t Au, 1.33 g/t Ag, and 0.35% Cu.

Evidence · table

“Proven”

Context: 54.91

Probable Reservepositive

Indicated Resource with demonstrated economic viability after applying modifying factors.

Why it applies: The document reports a Probable Mineral Reserve of 1.13 Mt at 0.28 g/t Au, 1.00 g/t Ag, and 0.25% Cu.

Evidence · table

“Probable”

Context: 1.13

Measured Resourcepositive

Highest confidence category — tonnage, grade, shape well-established from closely-spaced drilling. Basis for Proven Reserves.

Why it applies: The document reports a Measured Mineral Resource of 64.69 Mt at 0.57 g/t Au, 1.34 g/t Ag, and 0.34% Cu.

Evidence · table

“Measured”

Context: 64.69

Indicated Resourcepositive

Reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling; continuity can be assumed. Basis for Probable Reserves.

Why it applies: The document reports an Indicated Mineral Resource of 5.41 Mt at 0.48 g/t Au, 0.99 g/t Ag, and 0.22% Cu.

Evidence · table

“Indicated”

Context: 5.41

Stale Estimatenegative

Effective date is >2 years old — data currency concern, may not reflect current geological understanding.

Why it applies: The Mineral Resource Estimate was previously announced on January 20, 2026, and is unchanged, making it historical data within this DFS.

Evidence · text

“The mineral resource was previously announced by Meridian on January 20, 2026, and is unchanged.”

High Recoverypositive

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

Why it applies: The average LOM copper recovery of 92.8% is exceptional for flotation processing, and gold recovery of 89.3% is strong.

Evidence · table

“Average metallurgical recovery - Copper % 92.8%”

Context: Average metallurgical recovery - Gold

Pilot Scale Completepositive

Pilot or demonstration plant testing completed under continuous operation.

Why it applies: The fourth phase of test work included a mini pilot plant run to demonstrate scale and provide samples for DFS inputs.

Evidence · text

“Test work included variability flotation of samples from each six-month period of the first 5 years of the mine plan, and a mini pilot plant run of mineralised feed from the first 5 years of the mine plan, to demonstrate scale and provide samples for other test work to fill gaps in the data for the DFS.”

Multi-Domain Testedpositive

Variability across ore domains (oxide, transition, fresh) has been addressed.

Why it applies: The second phase of test work included 23 variability samples covering oxidised, transition, and sulphide zones.

Evidence · text

“In 2023, 23 variability samples from across the deposit (including nine through the vertical profile of drill hole CD-228) were collected, covering oxidised, transition and sulphide zones.”

Flotation Routeneutral · Story-specific tag

No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: The processing route involves flotation techniques for copper, gold, and silver, and pyrite flotation.

Evidence · text

“The beneficiation process is simple due to a clean mineralised material, with low impurities and an absence of organic material. This makes the mined material, at a 150 μm grind, amenable to flotation techniques, with the excellent auto-flotation characteristics of the Cabaçal mine's chalcopyrite.”

Gravity Routeneutral

Gravity separation forms a material part of the flowsheet.

Why it applies: Gold is recovered via a gravity circuit concentrator as part of the processing flowsheet.

Evidence · text

“Gold is recovered via a gravity circuit concentrator and flotation with the copper.”

Deleterious Elements Presentnegative · Story-specific tag

Penalty elements (arsenic, antimony, etc.) or refractory concerns noted in the release.

Why it applies: Test work identified significant amounts of chlorite (14.2 to 27.0%) which interferes with sulphide flotation, requiring adjusted reagent dosing and a re-cleaner circuit.

Evidence · text

“This sample material contained significant amounts of chlorite, in the range of 14.2 to 27.0%, an amount that would interfere with sulphide flotation by absorbing flotation reagent and destabilising the froth bed.”

Mill Routeneutral

Processing via mill or concentrator (CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation).

Why it applies: the document describes a mill_cil route ("concentrator")

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.
