# RETRANSMISSION: Millennial Potash Reports Significant Increase In Resource Estimates: Measured + Indicated Resource is up by 275% and Inferred Resource is increased by 210% at its Flagship Banio Potash Project: Measured + Indicated Mineral Resources of 2.45 Billion Tonnes at 15.6% KCl and Inferred Mineral Resources of 3.56 Billion Tonnes at 15.6% KCl Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/retransmission-millennial-potash-reports-significant-increase-in-resource-estima--eb698755-212e-4912-81cc-b68b9af59082 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/MLP/news/6431927099826076/retransmission-millennial-potash-reports-significant-increase-in-resource-estima Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2025-11-17T13:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Millennial Potash Corp. - Ticker: MLP - Exchange: TSX - Region: Gabon - Primary commodity: Potash - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Resource update - Extracted: 2026-09-16 11:04:34 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.90 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Millennial Potash Corp. announced a significantly updated Mineral Resource Estimate for its Banio Potash Project in Gabon, reporting a 275% increase in Measured and Indicated resources and a 210% increase in Inferred resources. The update includes a maiden Measured Resource of 648 million tonnes at 15.7% KCl, alongside substantial Indicated and Inferred resources of both carnallitite and higher-grade sylvinite. This MRE, which covers only 5% of the project area, provides a solid base for a Feasibility Study supported by USD $3M in DFC funding, with solution mining identified as the optimal method. Reasoning: The updated Mineral Resource Estimate \(MRE\) for the Banio Potash Project demonstrates a substantial increase in all resource categories, including the establishment of a maiden Measured Resource. This significantly de-risks the project, provides a strong foundation for future studies, and indicates immense potential for expansion, despite a large Inferred component. - Positive factor: Significant increase in Measured, Indicated, and Inferred resources - Positive factor: Maiden Measured Resource established - Positive factor: High grades for both Carnallitite and Sylvinite - Positive factor: Project covers only a small fraction of the total potential area, suggesting further upside - Positive factor: Supports a Feasibility Study with non-dilutive DFC funding - Positive factor: NI 43-101 compliant and QP signed - Positive factor: Potentially suitable for solution mining, an optimal low-cost method - Negative factor: A large portion of the total resource remains in the Inferred category - Negative factor: Mining and processing methods are to be finalized, though solution mining is proposed - Negative factor: Cautionary notes regarding the economic viability of mineral resources Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 7 ## Classification and evidence **Measured Resource** Polarity: positive Definition: Highest confidence category — tonnage, grade, shape well-established from closely-spaced drilling.

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.
