## Minestarters Atlas summary

Nova Minerals reported successful bench-scale rougher flotation test-work on low-grade Korbel ore. The testing produced high-grade gold concentrate of up to 26.7 g/t Au with consistent recoveries exceeding 95%.

Reasoning: Bench-scale flotation testing on Korbel ore yielded high-grade gold concentrate \(up to 26.7 g/t Au\) with recoveries exceeding 95%.

- Positive factor: High-grade concentrate produced

- Positive factor: Consistent high recoveries

Facts used in scoring: 1

## 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 recoveries exceeded 95% in flotation testing.

Evidence · text

> Consistent Recoveries Exceeding 95%

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The testing involved flotation, which is a mill-based processing route.

Evidence · text

> bench-scale rougher flotation testing

**Single Domain Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Testing limited to one composite or domain — representativeness not established.

Why it applies: only one composite was tested

Why it applies: 95% is at or above the exceptional band \(95%\)

## 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.
