## Minestarters Atlas summary

GR Silver has reported positive metallurgical test work results for the Plomosas Project in Mexico, supporting the design of a pilot plant. The studies, conducted at SGM and SGS laboratories, confirmed high silver and gold recoveries into lead and zinc concentrates with no significant deleterious elements identified.

Reasoning: Successful metallurgical test work demonstrating high recoveries for silver and gold into lead concentrates, supporting pilot plant design for the Plomosas Project.

- Positive factor: High precious metal recoveries in rougher concentrate

- Positive factor: Successful cleaner test work improving gold recovery

- Positive factor: Concentrates within commercial specifications

- Positive factor: No deleterious elements or penalties noted

- Positive factor: QA/QC procedures and QP sign-off disclosed

- Negative factor: Bench-scale tests only \(open circuit flotation\)

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: Gold and silver recoveries in the lead concentrate are high \(74% and 86% respectively\).

Evidence · text

> Silver and gold recoveries have been developed by the Qualified Person for use in a Preliminary Economic Assessment to be 74% and 86%, respectively.

**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 details specific QA/QC procedures including blanks, duplicates, and standards.

Evidence · text

> The Company has implemented QA/QC procedures, which include the insertion of blank, duplicate, and standard samples

**Bench Scale Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Only preliminary bench tests completed — no locked-cycle or pilot work.

Why it applies: The test work was described as bench-scale open circuit flotation tests.

Evidence · text

> The tests conducted were bench-scale open circuit flotation tests.

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

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

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

**Gravity Route**

Polarity: neutral

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

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

**Multi-Domain Tested**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Variability across ore domains \(oxide, transition, fresh\) has been addressed.

Why it applies: 3 distinct composites were 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.
