## Minestarters Atlas summary

Unigold has released an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Candelones Project in the Dominican Republic, reporting 2.29 million ounces of gold in Measured and Indicated resources. The update consolidates mineralization and converts historical Inferred resources to M&amp;I, with 93% of the resource now in higher confidence categories.

Reasoning: The update provides a substantial, high-confidence M&amp;I resource through consolidation and conversion of historical material, though it notes a technical trade-off in recoveries due to the shift to a single flotation circuit.

- Positive factor: Significant M&amp;I resource scale \(2.29 Moz Au\)

- Positive factor: High M&amp;I percentage \(93%\)

- Positive factor: Consolidation of mineralization into a single estimate

- Positive factor: Conversion of historic Inferred to M&amp;I

- Positive factor: NI 43-101 compliant with QP sign-off

- Negative factor: Change in processing methodology \(heap leach to milling\) resulted in lower metallurgical recoveries for oxide/transition material

Facts used in scoring: 15

## Classification and evidence

**Indicated Resource**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The estimate includes 38.1 Mt of Indicated resources.

Evidence · text

> Indicated \("M&amp;I"\) Resources of 69.1 million tonnes

**Measured Resource**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Highest confidence category — tonnage, grade, shape well-established from closely-spaced drilling. Basis for Proven Reserves.

Why it applies: The estimate includes 31.0 Mt of Measured resources.

Evidence · text

> Measured and Indicated \("M&amp;I"\) Resources of 69.1 million tonnes

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The estimate includes 5.3 Mt of Inferred resources.

Evidence · text

> Inferred resource contains an additional 387,000 ounces of silver

**Category Upgrade**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Resource confidence improved — Inferred upgraded to Indicated, or Indicated to Measured. De-risking signal.

Why it applies: The company reports 100% conversion of historic Inferred resource to M&amp;I.

Evidence · text

> 100% conversion of historic Inferred resource to M&amp;I

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: The estimate was prepared by Micon International Limited in accordance with NI 43-101 standards.

Evidence · text

> estimated by Micon International Limited by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum \(CIM\) Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects \(NI 43-101\)

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: Multiple Qualified Persons \(William J. Lewis, Matt Ball, Mohsin Hashmi\) are named and responsible.

Evidence · text

> Mr. William J. Lewis, P.Geo. and Matt Ball, MIMMM, of Micon International Limited., who are Qualified Persons as defined by NI 43-101

**Cut-off Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison.

Why it applies: NSR cut-off grades for oxide, transition, and sulphide/underground are explicitly stated.

Evidence · text

> marginal NSR cut-off of US$32.75/t for the conceptual open pit evaluation of sulphides and transition material, and US$23.75/t for Oxide material

**Resource Update**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress.

Why it applies: The source explicitly discloses a revised resource estimate

Evidence · text

> updated mineral resource estimate

## 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.
