## Minestarters Atlas summary

Jaguar Mining has intersected multiple high-grade gold zones at the Faina orebody within the Turmalina Mine complex. The drilling confirms mineralization continuity and supports resource expansion, while initial industrial metallurgical testing shows improved gold recoveries of approximately 70%.

Reasoning: Strong high-grade gold intercepts with true width disclosure and significant metallurgical recovery improvement in industrial circuit.

- Positive factor: High-grade gold intercepts

- Positive factor: True width disclosed

- Positive factor: Continuity confirmed

- Positive factor: Improved metallurgical recovery

- Negative factor: Preliminary metallurgical results

Facts used in scoring: 9

## Classification and evidence

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length.

Why it applies: Estimated true width is provided for all reported intercepts in Table 1.

Evidence · table

> 3.40

Context: 3.77

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: The release is reviewed and approved by a Qualified Person \(Armando José Massucatto\).

Evidence · text

> reviewed and approved by Armando José Massucatto

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: The 28.46 g/t Au sub-interval is exceptionally high grade.

Evidence · table

> 28.46

Context: 2.51

**High Recovery**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: 70% recovery in industrial circuit is strong for the context of improving from 55%.

Evidence · text

> gold recoveries reaching approximately 70%

**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.
