## Minestarters Atlas summary

Outcrop Silver has updated its Santa Ana project resource to 57.8 million ounces of silver-equivalent, featuring a high-grade Indicated component of 29.9 Moz at 518.7 g/t AgEq. The company is commencing a Preliminary Economic Assessment \(PEA\) in late September 2026, targeting a throughput of 800-1,000 tonnes per day.

Reasoning: The update provides a high-grade, more rigorously classified resource estimate and signals the commencement of economic study work \(PEA\), representing a significant de-risking step for the Santa Ana project.

- Positive factor: Significant Indicated resource growth \(23.5%\)

- Positive factor: High-grade silver-equivalent \(518.7 g/t AgEq\)

- Positive factor: Transition to PEA stage

- Positive factor: Improved resource classification rigour

- Positive factor: Favourable jurisdictional backdrop in Colombia

- Negative factor: Narrow vein mining complexity

- Negative factor: Significant exploration upside required to reach 100 Moz target

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**Indicated Resource**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling; continuity can be assumed. Basis for Probable Reserves.

## 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.
