Metallurgical testing and product definition
Representative sampling, mineralogy, geometallurgy, extraction, impurity management, purification, precipitation, analytical validation and mass balance.
Strategic partnerships
Bring the capability Minas Americas needs next.
The immediate needs are representative metallurgy, impurity control, separation insight and product definition. Later needs include engineering, infrastructure, finance and customer qualification.
TECHNICAL STARTING POINT
SGS bench work covers seven geological samples from four auger holes plus one quality-control duplicate. Leach liquor, two separately analysed washes and residue were tested. Reporting of the SGS bench-scale results is the next milestone, after results reconciliation and technical review. No numerical results from this programme are disclosed here. An optimised flowsheet and commercial recovery have not been established; timing and outcomes are not guaranteed.
Explore the metallurgy programmeStarting point
A drill record, selected test results and specific questions.
The combined assay compilation covers 879 holes and 7,468.8 assayed metres at the 25 September 2026 cutoff. It includes prior results and complete or partial assay coverage; it is not all-new drilling or gross physical drilling. Dated diagnostic tests and their source documents remain available.
Earlier selected diagnostic screening · 21 October 2025. Selected trench material returned primary leach solution concentrations up to 667 mg/kg DREO and 278 mg/kg MREO under a 0.5 M ammonium-sulphate, 30-minute diagnostic test. Selected diagnostic result; not representative metallurgy, recovery, mass balance, optimised flowsheet, commercial performance or evidence of economic extraction.
Those diagnostic intervals are separate from the SGS bench-scale programme. Different samples and preparation conditions are not a before-and-after demonstration of improved recovery.
The immediate partner questions are representative recovery, impurity behaviour, mass balance, potential intermediates, separation interfaces and customer qualification requirements.
