## Minestarters Atlas summary

Miata Metals Corp. reported highly encouraging initial metallurgical test results from the Jons Trend at the Sela Creek Gold Project, achieving an average gold recovery of 94.6%. The ore is characterized as predominantly free-milling and non-refractory, suggesting suitability for conventional processing circuits.

Reasoning: Initial metallurgical results show very high gold recoveries using standard methods, significantly de-risking the project's processing profile.

- Positive factor: High average gold recovery \(94.6%\)

- Positive factor: Free-milling and non-refractory ore characteristics

- Positive factor: Conventional processing route \(gravity + bottle roll\) is viable

- Positive factor: Low organic carbon content \(minimal preg-robbing risk\)

- Negative factor: Initial testing only \(small sample size of four composites\)

Facts used in scoring: 4

## Classification and evidence

**Free Milling**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Simple, clean ore amenable to standard processing without oxidation.

Why it applies: Gold is described as predominantly free-milling and non-refractory.

Evidence · text

> Gold from the four Jons Trend composite samples is predominantly free-milling and non-refractory

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: Testing used gravity separation followed by a 48-hour bottle roll leach.

Evidence · text

> Gold was recovered using gravity separation followed by a 48-hour bottle roll leach.

**Gravity Route**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Gravity separation forms a material part of the flowsheet.

Why it applies: the document describes a gravity route \("gravity"\)

**Single Domain Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: 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.
