## Minestarters Atlas summary

Bayhorse Silver has submitted flotation concentrate samples from its Bayhorse Silver Mine to Allihies Engineering for proprietary antimony leaching testing. The testing aims to determine if the company's refractory silver-copper-antimony mineralization can be processed more effectively than previous methods, potentially unlocking significant value from critical minerals.

Reasoning: The company is testing a new hydrometallurgical route to address refractory mineralization, which could significantly improve recoveries and economic viability of the silver-copper-antimony project.

- Positive factor: Potential to unlock value from refractory antimony/silver/copper/zinc mineralization

- Positive factor: Proprietary leaching technology \(ASL\) shows high extraction rates \(99% Sb\) in similar deposits

- Positive factor: Strategic/critical mineral status for all target metals in the US

- Positive factor: Potential to significantly improve historical cost-benefit calculations

- Negative factor: Mineralization is refractory in nature, presenting processing challenges

- Negative factor: Metallurgical testing is currently in the sample submission stage, results are not yet confirmed for this specific site

- Negative factor: Refractory processing typically requires higher energy inputs

Facts used in scoring: 4

## Classification and evidence

**Refractory Ore**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: The document explicitly states the dominant mineralization is refractory in nature.

Evidence · text

> The dominant Bayhorse mineralization is primarily tetrahedrite... and is refractory in nature.

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The company mentions a permitted mill in Payette, Idaho and standard flotation processing.

Evidence · text

> to ship to our permitted Mill in Payette, Idaho... and standard flotation processing facility

**Single Domain Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Testing limited to one composite or domain — representativeness not established.

Why it applies: only one composite was tested
