## 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 current resource estimate of 24.4 Mt is entirely in the Inferred category.

Evidence · text

> 24.4 million tonnes of inferred mineral resources

**Historical Estimate Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Estimate pre-dates or does not comply with current JORC/NI 43-101 standards — requires verification drilling.

Why it applies: The document mentions a 77 Mt historical resource that is not NI 43-101 compliant.

Evidence · text

> delineated a historical resource of 77 million tonnes grading 6.15% Zn+Pb in C1/C2 categories

## 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.
