Executive Summary

The most recent news (March 18, 2026) announces the selection of Tetra Tech Inc. to lead a Feasibility Study (FS) for the Scottie Gold Mine Project. Simultaneously, the company reported successful Phase 2 Ore Sorting results. Key technical findings confirm that X-Ray Transmission (XRT) technology provides superior recovery and logistical advantages over XRF for their Direct-Ship Ore (DSO) strategy. The study used production-level equipment to confirm that the project can produce a DSO product at a -75mm particle size. A Phase 3 production-scale sample is planned for Spring 2026 at the Tomra facility in Germany.

Material Impact

The news is Routine - Positive. While the results are technically significant, they are an incremental progression of the DSO strategy first outlined in April 2025 and reinforced by the PEA filed in December 2025. - Technical De-risking: Moving from conceptual "Phase 1" core-sized samples to "Phase 2" production-level equipment validates the metallurgy and sorting efficiency required for the DSO model. - Strategic Shift: The selection of XRT over XRF narrows the technical scope for the upcoming FS. - Timeline Confirmation: The launch of the FS keeps the company on track for its previously stated goal of completing the study by H1 2027. - Economic Context: The DSO model is highly sensitive to "payability" from smelters; optimizing the sorting process is critical to maintaining the high-margin profile (60.3% IRR) identified in the PEA.
