## Minestarters Atlas summary

Signature Resources has released results from an independent gold deportment study conducted by SGS Canada on the Lingman Lake Gold Project. The study indicates favorable free-milling gold mineralogy with high recoveries ranging from 79.8% to 96.6% using gravity and cyanide leaching.

Reasoning: The deportment study confirms favorable free-milling gold mineralogy and high recovery potential \(79.8% - 96.6%\) across the high-grade zones, significantly de-risking the metallurgical profile for the Lingman Lake project.

- Positive factor: High gold recoveries \(up to 96.6%\)

- Positive factor: Free-milling gold mineralogy

- Positive factor: Minimal arsenopyrite association

- Positive factor: Favorable grain size for processing

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Free Milling**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Simple, clean ore amenable to standard processing without oxidation.

Why it applies: Gold occurs primarily as free milling gold and gold-silver alloys.

Evidence · text

> Gold occurs primarily as free milling gold and gold-silver alloys

**High Recovery**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: Recoveries up to 96.6% are within the exceptional band for gold.

Evidence · text

> Samples returned gold recoveries ranging from 92.6% - 96.6%

**Gravity Route**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Gravity separation forms a material part of the flowsheet.

Why it applies: the document describes a gravity route \("gravity"\)

**Single Domain Only**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: only one composite was tested

Evidence · text

> SGS estimated overall gold recoveries would likely range from approximately 79.8% to 96.6%.

#### Tags used in scoring

**Gravity Route**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Gravity separation forms a material part of the flowsheet.

Why it applies: processing\_route matches the gravity signal

**Low Recovery**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Recovery below the weak band for the commodity and processing route.

Why it applies: 79.8% is below the weak band \(80%\)

## 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.
