## Minestarters Atlas summary

Revival Gold has released interim results from its 2026 Mercur column leach testing program. Oxide material shows strong gold recovery \(average 81%\), supporting conventional heap leaching, while refractory materials show lower average gold recovery \(43%\).

Reasoning: Interim column leach results show strong gold recovery \(up to 94%\) in oxide domains, supporting heap leach potential, but highlight significant metallurgical challenges in refractory zones \(as low as 1% recovery\).

- Positive factor: amenability to conventional heap leaching

- Positive factor: high gold recovery in oxide domains

- Negative factor: low gold recovery in refractory domains

- Negative factor: refractory material identified

Facts used in scoring: 4

## Classification and evidence

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The testing is described as column leach testing for heap leach amenability.

Evidence · text

> amenability of material to conventional crushed ore heap leaching

**Refractory Ore**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Ore requires oxidation/pressure treatment before recovery — a processing and recovery risk.

Why it applies: The release explicitly mentions testing refractory \(sulfidic and carbonaceous\) materials.

Evidence · text

> assessing the leachability of refractory \(sulfidic and carbonaceous\) materials

## 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.
