The tests achieved 81% gold and 96% silver recovery from post-flotation material, representing a significant improvement in silver recovery over the previously evaluated pyrometallurgical route. Reasoning: The Albion process significantly improves silver recovery \(96% vs 64%\) while maintaining comparable gold recovery \(81% vs 81.5%\) compared to the previously tested pyrometallurgical route. - Positive factor: Significant improvement in silver recovery compared to previous pyrometallurgical route - Positive factor: Comparable gold recovery to previous technology - Positive factor: Demonstrates technical robustness with two viable processing alternatives - Positive factor: Albion process is a commercially proven technology - Negative factor: Results are from post-flotation material, not the whole orebody Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: The Albion process involves ultra-fine grinding and oxidative leaching. Evidence · text > based on ultra-fine grinding and oxidative leaching **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 names a Qualified Person \(Joaquin Merino, P.Geo.\) and a Metallurgist \(Jorge A. Blanco, MChem.\) who reviewed the technical information. Evidence · text > reviewed and approved by each of Joaquin Merino, P.Geo., President of the Company and. Jorge A. Blanco, MChem., Director of Metallurgy **POX/BIOX Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Pressure or bio-oxidation for refractory ore — high CAPEX and OPEX. Why it applies: the document describes a pox\_biox route \("albion"\) **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: 4.
