The company restates its initial mineral resource estimate of 1.64 Mt Indicated and 1.58 Mt Inferred at 7.00% Cg. Reasoning: The document restates a recently announced mineral resource estimate while commenting on new Canadian regulatory initiatives. - Positive factor: High-grade graphite resource \(7.00% Cg\) - Positive factor: Strategic positioning near existing production \(Lac des Îles\) - Positive factor: Favorable regulatory environment \(MPO launch\) - Negative factor: Resource is a restatement of an initial estimate from July 2025 - Negative factor: Significant portion of resource is in the Inferred category Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **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 prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 standards as stated in the text. Evidence · text > See the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: A significant portion of the reported resource is in the Inferred category. Evidence · text > Inferred Mineral Resource: 1,580,000 tonnes at 7.00% Cg ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

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.
