# Abasca Resources Engages Tetra Tech to Complete Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Loki Flake Graphite Deposit Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/abasca-resources-engages-tetra-tech-to-complete-preliminary-economic-assessment--e94ced1c-8aa9-4bd3-9f29-7bccaefaa47f Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/ABA/news/5720560017907346/abasca-resources-engages-tetra-tech-to-complete-preliminary-economic-assessment- Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-05-26T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Abasca Resources Inc. - Ticker: ABA - Exchange: TSX - Region: Saskatchewan - Primary commodity: Graphite - Secondary commodities: Uranium - Document categories: Economic study, Resource update - Extracted: 2026-09-19 07:16:51 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Abasca Resources has engaged Tetra Tech to conduct a Preliminary Economic Assessment \(PEA\) for the Loki Flake Graphite Deposit in Saskatchewan. The study will incorporate an updated Mineral Resource Estimate that reflects a significant strike length extension to 1,400 metres achieved through recent drilling. Reasoning: The announcement marks a significant transition from exploration to economic evaluation \(PEA\) for the Loki graphite deposit, supported by substantial strike length extension. - Positive factor: Engagement of Tetra Tech to advance project to PEA stage - Positive factor: Significant strike length extension from 500m to 1,400m - Positive factor: Proximity to existing Key Lake mill infrastructure - Positive factor: Inclusion of recent 2025/2026 drilling in upcoming MRE Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **PEA Only** Polarity: neutral Definition: Only Class 4 / Initial Assessment economics available. Not bankable. Why it applies: The company has engaged Tetra Tech specifically to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment. Evidence · text > engaged Tetra Tech Canada Inc. \("Tetra Tech"\) to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment \(" PEA "\) **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: The current resource for the Loki deposit is stated as entirely inferred. Evidence · text > comprising a total inferred resource of 11.31 Mt at 7.65 % Cg **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling has extended the delineated strike length from 500m to 1,400m. Evidence · text > extended the delineated strike length of the Loki Deposit from 500 metres to approximately 1,400 metres ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 1.

Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: category is "inferred" **Cut-off Undisclosed** Polarity: negative Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing. Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated **No Contained Metal** Polarity: negative Definition: Tonnage and grade reported but contained metal not calculated or disclosed — incomplete reporting. Why it applies: contained\_metal was not reported **Resource Update** Polarity: neutral Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress. Why it applies: the release compares against a previous estimate **PEA-Supporting** Polarity: neutral Definition: Resource estimate prepared to support a Preliminary Economic Assessment — early-stage study. Why it applies: the release names the study this estimate supports ## 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.
