## Minestarters Atlas summary

Graphano Energy reported final assay results from its initial nine-hole drill program at the Black Pearl Graphite Project in Quebec, Canada, confirming extensive near-surface graphite mineralization. The program successfully expanded graphite zones and highlighted the district-scale potential of the Black Pearl-Standard Mine area. Key intercepts include 11.33% Cg over 8.61 metres in BP25-01 and 16.50% Cg over 0.85 metres in BP25-08, with all results indicating the effectiveness of geophysical targeting.

Reasoning: Graphano's initial drill program at Black Pearl successfully confirmed extensive near-surface graphite mineralization across multiple conductive trends, indicating significant district-scale potential. The results include several high-grade intercepts, although true widths are yet to be determined.

- Positive factor: Extensive near-surface graphite mineralization confirmed

- Positive factor: District-scale potential highlighted

- Positive factor: QA/QC procedures disclosed and lab certified

- Positive factor: Qualified Person sign-off

- Negative factor: True width not yet determined for reported intercepts

- Negative factor: Low core recovery for a specific high-grade interval in BP25-03

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Facts used in scoring: 26

## Classification and evidence

**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 explicitly states that samples were sent to Activation Laboratories \(ACTLABS\), an accredited ISO Certified Laboratory, and that the program included field duplicates, blanks, and a graphite standard sample for QA/QC purposes.

Evidence · text

> All drill core samples were sampled, stored and shipped using industry best practices and were delivered to Activation Laboratories \(" ACTLABS "\), Ancaster, Ontario, for sample preparation and analyses using laboratories' Code 4F-C Graphitic, analyzing C-Graphite \(infrared\), where the sample is subjected to a multistage furnace treatment to remove all forms of carbon with the exception of graphitic carbon; and C-Total \(infrared\). ACTLABS is an independent commercial, accredited ISO Certified Laboratory. The core sample program also included field duplicates, blanks and a graphite standard sample for quality control and quality assurance \(QA/QC\) purposes.

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

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: The scientific and technical content has been reviewed and approved by Roger Dahn, B.Sc., P.Geo., a director of the Company and a 'Qualified Person' as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

Evidence · text

> The scientific and technical content disclosed in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Roger Dahn, B.Sc., P.Geo., a director of the Company and a "Qualified Person" as defined in National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects .

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: The notes section of the drill results table explicitly states that 'Intervals are core length. True width will be defined with additional drilling', indicating that only downhole lengths are reported.

Evidence · table

> Intervals are core length. True width will be defined with additional drilling

Context: Notes:

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The document states that the primary focus of the drill program was on 'graphite zone expansion' and that 'further exploration is warranted to follow-up this sector of mineralization on the property'.

Evidence · text

> The primary focus of this first ever drill program at Black Pearl was on broadly evaluating the deposit's larger scale potential, enhancing the structural understanding of the area, and on graphite zone expansion.

**Maiden Resource**

Polarity: neutral

Story-specific tag

Definition: First formal MRE for the project — establishes baseline but typically exploration-stage with high Inferred component. No prior estimate exists, so every change band is not applicable.

Why it applies: The document refers to this as the 'first ever drill program at Black Pearl', establishing a baseline for the project.

## 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.
