## Minestarters Atlas summary

Scottie Resources has successfully completed its Phase 2 Ore Sorting Study, confirming that X-Ray Transmittance \(XRT\) technology can recover 82% to 92% of gold. Following these results, the company has appointed Tetra Tech to lead a Feasibility Study for its Scottie Gold Mine Project, targeting completion in Q2 2027.

Reasoning: The successful Phase 2 ore sorting study validates the company's Direct-Ship Ore \(DSO\) strategy, providing high-confidence recovery data \(82-92%\) and triggering the launch of a Feasibility Study.

- Positive factor: Successful Phase 2 ore sorting study results

- Positive factor: XRT technology demonstrated superior recovery over XRF

- Positive factor: High gold recovery \(82-92%\) confirmed

- Positive factor: Launch of Feasibility Study \(FS\) with Tetra Tech

- Positive factor: DSO strategy aims to reduce CAPEX and environmental footprint

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**High Recovery**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: XRT recovery of 82-92% is exceptional for gold ore sorting/processing scenarios.

Evidence · text

> XRT sorter can recover 82% to 92% of the gold

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The strategy focuses on ore sorting to produce a concentrate for shipment, rather than a conventional mill/tailings facility.

Evidence · text

> aims to eliminate the need for a conventional gold processing plant and tailings facility

**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.
