## Minestarters Atlas summary

Endurance Gold has released its inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate for the Reliance Gold Project in British Columbia, totaling 19.6 Mt at 2.30 g/t Au \(1.45 Moz Au\), all in the Inferred category. The resource is split between a near-surface open pit component \(15.6 Mt @ 2.23 g/t Au\) and an underground component \(4.0 Mt @ 2.58 g/t Au\). Initial metallurgy shows promising gold recovery of 84.7% via flotation.

Reasoning: The announcement of an inaugural MRE for the Reliance Gold Project provides a significant baseline for the asset, though the resource remains entirely in the Inferred category.

- Positive factor: Inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate \(MRE\) established

- Positive factor: Significant gold tonnage and grade reported

- Positive factor: Positive initial metallurgical recovery results

- Positive factor: Clear path to PEA and resource upgrading

- Negative factor: 100% Inferred resource classification \(no M&amp;I\)

Facts used in scoring: 4

## Classification and evidence

**Maiden Resource**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: First formal MRE for the project — establishes baseline but typically exploration-stage with high Inferred component. No prior estimate exists, so every change band is not applicable.

Why it applies: The document describes an inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate for the Reliance Gold Project.

Evidence · text

> supporting an inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate \(" MRE "\)

**All Inferred**

Polarity: negative

Definition: M&amp;I share below the weak bound — very early stage, no engineering confidence.

Why it applies: The entire resource is classified as Inferred, with no Measured or Indicated components.

Evidence · text

> The Report describes an Inferred MRE of 19.6 million tonnes

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: Marc Jutras, P.Eng, M.A.Sc. is named as the independent Qualified Person for the MRE.

Evidence · text

> The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared by Marc Jutras, P.Eng, M.A.Sc., Principal, Ginto Consulting Inc., an independent Qualified Person

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: The resource estimate is part of an NI 43-101 Technical Report.

Evidence · text

> Files NI 43-101 Technical Report Describing the Inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate

**Cut-off Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison.

Why it applies: Cut-off grades for both open pit and underground are explicitly stated.

Evidence · text

> base case cut-off grade of 0.30 gpt Au for open pit \(Zone OP\), and 1.0 gpt Au for underground \(Zone UG\)

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The report mentions rougher flotation testwork.

Evidence · text

> Initial rougher flotation testwork indicates 84.7% gold recovery

**Gravity Route**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Gravity separation forms a material part of the flowsheet.

Why it applies: the document describes a gravity route \("gravity"\)

**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.
