## Minestarters Atlas summary

Fortuna Mining Corp. announced robust Feasibility Study results for its Diamba Sud Gold Project in Senegal, reporting an after-tax IRR of 60% and NPV5% of US$1 billion at a US$3,500/oz gold price. The study outlines a 9.4-year open-pit CIL gold mine with average annual gold production of 116,000 ounces and a low LOM AISC of $1,332/oz. The project benefits from a maiden Probable Mineral Reserve of 20.5 Mt at 1.75 g/t Au for 1.15 Moz, improved grades, and higher metallurgical recoveries compared to the previous PEA.

Reasoning: The Feasibility Study for the Diamba Sud Gold Project demonstrates strong economic viability with high after-tax IRR and NPV, supported by a significant maiden Probable Mineral Reserve, improved production profile, and increased mine life. The study de-risks the project and positions it for a final investment decision, despite potential future changes in state ownership and mining convention terms.

- Positive factor: Robust economics with high after-tax IRR \(60%\) and NPV5% \(US$1 billion\)

- Positive factor: Maiden Probable Mineral Reserve of 1.15 Moz gold established at Feasibility Study level

- Positive factor: Increased average annual gold production and longer mine life compared to previous PEA

- Positive factor: Improved average feed grade and metallurgical recovery from previous PEA

- Positive factor: NI 43-101 compliant Feasibility Study with QP/CP sign-off

- Positive factor: Early works advancing to de-risk development schedule

- Negative factor: State of Senegal holds a 10% free-carried interest and has an option for an additional 25% contributory interest, potentially impacting future ownership and returns

- Negative factor: Provisions of the Mining Convention are subject to renegotiation during the exploitation permit approval process

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

- Ticker: FVI

#### Resource scope

- Estimate type: resource
- Reporting standards: ni\_43\_101
- QP Signed: Yes
- Qualified person names: Raul Espinoza, Eric Chapman
- Resource group id: resource:ca10095970d12cfebdb3
- Mining method: open\_pit
- Ownership percent: 100 %
- Resource basis: gross

#### Resource Data

- Category: inferred
- Tonnes: 1632000
- Grade: 1.3
- Grade Unit: g/t
- Contained Metal: 68
- Contained Unit: koz

#### Prior Estimate

- Resource Date: 2026-04-10

#### Review

- Needs Review: No
- Historical: No

#### Dates

- Event date: 2026-06-29T00:00:00.000Z

Reasoning: The total Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.63 Mt at 1.30 g/t Au for 68 koz gold represents exploration upside but has lower confidence than other categories. \(Expanded from multi-commodity resource table for completeness.\)

- Positive factor: Total Inferred Mineral Resources provide exploration upside for future growth

- Positive factor: NI 43-101 compliant

- Positive factor: QP/CP signed

- Negative factor: Inferred category has lower geological confidence and cannot support economic studies alone

#### Tags used in scoring

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: category is "inferred"

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**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: qp\_signed is true

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: reporting\_standards includes ni\_43\_101

**PEA-Supporting**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Resource estimate prepared to support a Preliminary Economic Assessment — early-stage study.

Why it applies: the release names the study this estimate supports

**DFS-Supporting**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Resource estimate prepared to support a Definitive Feasibility Study — requires high M&amp;I confidence.

Why it applies: the release names the study this estimate supports

Diamba Sud Gold Project · gold

#### Identity

- Project: Diamba Sud Gold Project
- Commodity: gold
- Region: senegal
- Reported Region: Senegal
- Ticker: FVI

#### Test Work

- Program Status: detailed
- Processing Route: conventional CIL

#### Recovery

- Recovery: 91 %
- Recovery Basis: actual\_test
- Head Grade: 1.75
- Head Grade Unit: g/t

#### Lab

- Consultant: Lycopodium

#### Review

- Needs Review: No
- Historical: No

#### Dates

- Event date: 2026-06-29T00:00:00.000Z

Reasoning: The average LOM metallurgical recovery of 91% for gold via conventional CIL is strong and represents an improvement from the previous PEA, indicating robust processing performance.

- Positive factor: High metallurgical recovery for CIL process

- Positive factor: Recovery improved from previous PEA

- Positive factor: Multi-domain variability tested

Evidence · table

> 91%

Context: Recovery

#### Tags used in scoring

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: processing\_route matches the mill\_cil signal

**Byproduct Commodity**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: The tested commodity is a byproduct rather than the primary economic driver.

Why it applies: the release describes a byproduct credit

## 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.
