## Minestarters Atlas summary

Green Battery Minerals has released independent laboratory results from Prographite GmbH confirming the high quality of dry separated graphite from the Berkwood Graphite Project. The testing showed high carbon content \(up to 98.5% post-expansion\) and a successful expansion rate of 325 ml/g, indicating strong potential for expandable graphite production.

Reasoning: Independent metallurgical testing confirms high-quality graphite suitable for expandable graphite production, with high carbon content and successful expansion rates.

- Positive factor: High carbon content \(98.2% pre-expansion, 98.5% post-expansion\)

- Positive factor: Successful expansion rate of 325 ml/g

- Positive factor: Independent lab \(Prographite GmbH\) confirms high-quality material

- Positive factor: Low moisture and volatile content

Why it applies: Release mentions CRM insertion, field duplicates, and submission to SGS laboratories.

Evidence · text

> a CRM sample was inserted at a ratio of 1 sample in 20 to the sample batch, field duplicates were additionally collected

**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 in a NI 43-101 Technical Report.

Evidence · text

**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 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

**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

## 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.
