Visible high-grade graphite has been confirmed at surface within a large 3.8km x 625m electromagnetic anomaly \(Zone 13\). Assay results from current field sampling are expected in the coming weeks. Reasoning: The announcement reports a significant new graphite discovery within a large, previously untested EM anomaly, representing a major exploration milestone. - Positive factor: Significant new discovery at surface - Positive factor: Large scale EM anomaly \(3.8km x 625m\) - Positive factor: Continuous conductor traced over 3,157m strike - Positive factor: Proximity to existing NI 43-101 resource - Negative factor: Assay results for new discovery are still pending Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Discovery of mineralization in a previously unexplored EM anomaly \(Zone 13\) adjacent to existing resources. Evidence · text > discovery of visible high-grade graphite at surface within Zone 13 , a previously unexplored kilometre-scale electromagnetic \("EM"\) anomaly **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release names a Qualified Person \(Antoine Fournier, P.Geo.\) who reviewed and approved the technical information. Evidence · text > reviewed and approved by Antoine Fournier, P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration for FG graphite and a Qualified Person ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.

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.
