# Blue Jay Gold Reports 67% Antimony Concentrate at 94% Recovery from Becker-Cochran: Concentrates Submitted for Metal Refining Tests Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/blue-jay-gold-reports-67-antimony-concentrate-at-94-recovery-from-becker-cochran--73c18bbe-5042-49a2-9ac5-785b47150633 Original source: https://investingnews.com/blue-jay-gold-reports-67-antimony-concentrate-at-94-recovery-from-becker-cochran-concentrates-submitted-for-metal-refining-tests/ Publisher: investingnews Original announcement: 2026-09-21T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Blue Jay Gold Corp. - Ticker: JAY - Exchange: TSXV - Region: Yukon - Primary commodity: Antimony - Secondary commodities: Iron ore, Sulfur - Document categories: Metallurgy - Extracted: 2026-09-21 15:17:42 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Blue Jay Gold reported successful maiden metallurgical flotation test results for antimony at the Steller Gold Project in Yukon. The tests produced a 66.9% Sb concentrate with a 93.9% recovery, which has been submitted to three North American processing groups for refining tests. Reasoning: The announcement reports successful maiden metallurgical test work for antimony, producing a high-grade concentrate with excellent recovery, which significantly de-risks the secondary metal endowment at the Steller Project. - Positive factor: High antimony recovery \(94%\) - Positive factor: Premium concentrate grade \(67%\) - Positive factor: Maiden test work successful - Positive factor: Demonstrated compatibility with multiple downstream processing routes - Negative factor: Mercury \(Hg\) detected in concentrate aliquot - Negative factor: Results are preliminary and based on a single composite - Negative factor: No variability studies completed Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **High Recovery** Polarity: positive Definition: Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route. Why it applies: Antimony recovery of 93.9% is in the exceptional band for flotation. Evidence · text > Antimony recovery to the final cleaner concentrate was 93.9%. **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: The test sequence included rougher and cleaner flotation. Evidence · text > The test sequence comprised head assays, mineralogical characterization, grind establishment, rougher and cleaner flotation, and final concentrate characterization. **Bench Scale Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Only preliminary bench tests completed — no locked-cycle or pilot work. Why it applies: The results are described as laboratory-scale rougher-cleaner testing and are preliminary. Evidence · text > These results are based on laboratory-scale rougher-cleaner testing and are preliminary in nature **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release mentions ALS laboratory maintained internal QA/QC and results were reviewed by a QP. Evidence · text > The ALS laboratory maintained its own internal QA/QC procedures to deliver these initial outcomes. **Single Domain Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Testing limited to one composite or domain — representativeness not established. Why it applies: only one composite was tested ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.

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.
