Analysis by Minestarters Atlas
Minestarters Atlas analysis
Summary
P2 Gold is evaluating a strategy to accelerate cash flow at the Gabbs Project by processing the Car Body zone during the construction of the main facility. Recent column testing showed high gold recoveries of 95.6% over 73 days, and the zone's low copper content may allow for a simplified heap-leach processing route.
Reasoning: The document details metallurgical success and a strategic early-cash-flow concept for the Car Body zone, supported by new drilling and existing resource data.
Positive factors
- High gold recovery (95.6%) from column testing
- Low copper content in Car Body simplifies processing
- Potential for early cash flow during construction
- New drilling results confirm mineralization
Negative factors
- Car Body resource is smaller than principal zones
- True widths for recent drilling not yet determined
- Economic impact of Car Body not yet quantified
Facts used in scoring: 9
Classification and evidence
High Recoverypositive
Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route.
Why it applies: 95.6% gold recovery is exceptional for a heap-leach/column test route.
Evidence · text
“returned an average gold recovery of 95.6% after 73 days”
Inferred Resourcenegative
Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.
Why it applies: The Car Body resource is stated as being in the Inferred category.
Evidence · text
“contains 3.2 million tonnes of inferred Car Body oxide mineralization”
Apparent Width Onlynegative
Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.
Why it applies: Recent drilling results report downhole widths but explicitly state true thicknesses are yet to be determined.
Evidence · text
“True thicknesses remain to be determined.”
