These results, alongside conventional flotation confirming saleable concentrate, will inform an upcoming mineral resource update. Reasoning: The results demonstrate high copper and silver recoveries using a coarse particle flotation method, which offers significant potential for reducing OPEX and CAPEX via lower energy and smaller plant requirements. - Positive factor: High copper recovery \(94%\) at a significantly coarser grind size \(450µm\) - Positive factor: Coarse flotation potentially reduces energy requirements and plant footprint - Positive factor: Conventional flotation confirmed saleable concentrate with low penalty elements - Positive factor: High mass rejection \(82%\) improves throughput potential - Negative factor: Gold recovery results remain variable and difficult to represent Facts used in scoring: 7 ## 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% copper recovery achieved in coarse flotation test.
