## Minestarters Atlas summary

Lomiko Metals has filed its Preliminary Feasibility Study \(PFS\) for the La Loutre Graphite Project in Quebec. The study reports probable reserves of 46.8 Mt at 4.79% Cg and demonstrates strong economics with an after-tax NPV of CA$617.4 M.

Reasoning: The filing of the PFS technical report formalizes previously announced results, including the declaration of probable reserves and strong economic indicators for the La Loutre project.

- Positive factor: Declaration of probable reserves

- Positive factor: Strong economic metrics \(NPV CA$797.5M, 30.3% IRR\)

- Positive factor: High recovery \(93.0%\)

- Positive factor: Long mine life \(28 years\)

- Negative factor: Results were previously reported in March 2026

## 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.
