## Minestarters Atlas summary

True North Copper has reported strong metallurgical performance for its Cloncurry Copper Project, achieving an average of 89% copper recovery from Wallace North flotation tests. Concurrently, the project's contained copper-equivalent Mineral Resources have increased by 62% to 204kt CuEq, providing greater scale and flexibility for mine planning. These positive results are advancing the Pre-Feasibility Study, which remains on track for completion in late 2026.

Reasoning: True North Copper announced strong metallurgical results with 89% copper recovery and a substantial 62% increase in contained copper-equivalent resources, significantly advancing the Cloncurry Copper Project's Pre-Feasibility Study.

- Positive factor: High copper recovery of 89% from Wallace North flotation tests

- Positive factor: Significant 62% increase in contained copper-equivalent Mineral Resources

- Positive factor: Pre-Feasibility Study \(PFS\) remains on schedule for late 2026 completion

- Positive factor: Metallurgical test work covers varying grades and mineralogy

- Positive factor: Resource estimates are JORC 2012 compliant with QP sign-off

- Negative factor: Gold recovery results for flotation tests are not yet reported

- Negative factor: Metallurgical test work is primarily bench-scale, with variability testing planned for later stages

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Facts used in scoring: 50

## Classification and evidence

Context: Wallace North

**Resource Update**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress.

Why it applies: The document provides an update on the Cloncurry Copper Project's Mineral Resource, detailing changes from December 2025 to October 2026.

Evidence · text

Why it applies: the document describes a heap\_leach route \("heap leach"\)

**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.

## 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.
