## Minestarters Atlas summary

Abasca Resources has updated its mineral resource estimate for the Loki Flake Graphite Deposit, reporting 6.99 Mt of Indicated Resource at 8.27% Cg and 15.83 Mt of Inferred Resource at 6.93% Cg. The update, supported by a new NI 43-101 technical report, also marks the commencement of a summer exploration program and the company's adoption of semi-annual financial reporting.

Reasoning: The update shows a significant conversion of Inferred to Indicated resources \(67% of prior Inferred\) and a 40% increase in the Inferred category, strengthening the project's geological confidence.

- Positive factor: Category upgrade from Inferred to Indicated

- Positive factor: Significant Inferred resource growth

- Positive factor: Strong grade maintenance in Indicated category

- Positive factor: Supports existing PEA

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Category Upgrade**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Resource confidence improved — Inferred upgraded to Indicated, or Indicated to Measured. De-risking signal.

Why it applies: 67% of the prior Inferred Resource was converted to Indicated Resource.

Evidence · text

> Conversion of 67% of the prior Inferred Resource to Indicated Resource

## 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.
