## Minestarters Atlas summary

Bravo Mining reports encouraging metallurgical results from Jameson Cell technology testing at the Luanga PGM+Au+Ni deposit in Brazil. The testing indicates improved recoveries for platinum, palladium, gold, and nickel, alongside higher concentrate grades and significantly lower mass pull compared to conventional flotation.

Reasoning: The application of Jameson Cell technology shows significant potential to improve recoveries and concentrate grades while reducing mass pull, which is highly material for the upcoming PFS.

- Positive factor: Improved recovery potential \(5-10% Pt/Pd/Au, 5-30% Ni\)

- Positive factor: Higher concentrate grades \(100-120 g/t PGMs\)

- Positive factor: Lower mass pull \(up to 50% reduction\)

- Positive factor: Technical support and performance guarantees from Glencore Technology

- Negative factor: Testing is still ongoing \(preliminary cleaner and pilot scale tests pending\)

Facts used in scoring: 8

## Classification and evidence

**High Recovery**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: Jameson Cell testing reaffirmed potential 5-10% improvement in Pt, Pd, Au and 5-30% in Ni recoveries.

Evidence · text

> reaffirmed a potential 5-10% improvement in Pt, Pd and Au recoveries and 5-30% higher Ni recoveries

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The program focuses on flotation technology \(Jameson Cells\).

Evidence · text

> establishing it as the preferred flotation route

**Single Domain Only**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: only one composite was tested

## 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.
