## Minestarters Atlas summary

Beauce Gold Fields reported phosphate assay results from the CH-98 property, including an 8.07% P2O5 intercept at the CH-98-61 outcrop. Metallurgical flotation tests conducted by COREM produced a high-grade 38.9% P2O5 concentrate with a 93.4% recovery.

Reasoning: The metallurgical results demonstrate successful upgrading of phosphate via standard methods with high recovery and competitive concentrate grades.

- Positive factor: High recovery \(93.4%\) achieved via conventional flotation

- Positive factor: Concentrate grade \(38.9% P2O5\) is competitive with regional peers

- Positive factor: Low impurity levels \(low thorium and uranium\)

- Positive factor: Confirms high-grade phosphate values at CH-98-61 outcrop

Facts used in scoring: 7

## Classification and evidence

**High Recovery**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route.

Why it applies: 93.4% recovery is exceptional for phosphate flotation.

Evidence · text

> 93.4% P2O5 recovery

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: Release mentions ALS Canada's ISO-certified lab and internal quality control procedures including standards, blanks, and duplicates.

Evidence · text

> ALS Canada operates under internationally recognized quality assurance protocols

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: Testing used conventional flotation methods.

Evidence · text

## 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.
