## Minestarters Atlas summary

Green Battery Minerals provides an update on the impact of US tariffs on Chinese graphite and reports on recent lithium exploration at the Jupiter property, which found no substantial mineralization. The release also restates the existing graphite resource for the Berkwood Graphite Project in Quebec.

Reasoning: The document re-releases a 2019 graphite resource estimate for the Berkwood project while providing a macro-economic update on US tariffs and disappointing lithium exploration results at the Jupiter property.

- Positive factor: High-grade graphite resource

- Positive factor: Favorable US tariff environment for North American graphite

- Negative factor: Stale data \(resource effective date 2019\)

- Negative factor: Jupiter lithium exploration results were non-substantial

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Stale Estimate**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Effective date is &gt;2 years old — data currency concern, may not reflect current geological understanding.

Why it applies: The graphite resource estimate is effective as of June 30, 2019, which is more than 2 years old.

Evidence · text

> With an Effective date of June 30th, 2019

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The resource estimate is described as being contained in an NI 43-101 Technical Report.

Evidence · text

#### Tags used in scoring

**Indicated Resource**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: category is "indicated"

**Cut-off Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: cutoff\_grade is stated

**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: qp\_signed is true

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: reporting\_standards includes ni\_43\_101

**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

**Stale Estimate**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Effective date is &gt;2 years old — data currency concern, may not reflect current geological understanding.

Why it applies: effective date is 5.0 years before this release

## 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.
