## Minestarters Atlas summary

Abasca Resources has filed a NI 43-101 technical report confirming an initial maiden inferred mineral resource for the Loki Flake Graphite Deposit. The resource comprises 11.31 Mt of graphite at an average grade of 7.65% Cg.

Reasoning: The announcement establishes a maiden inferred graphite resource of 11.31 Mt at a strong grade of 7.65% Cg, supported by a formal NI 43-101 technical report and disclosed QA/QC protocols.

- Positive factor: Maiden resource establishment

- Positive factor: High grade \(7.65% Cg\)

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed

- Positive factor: NI 43-101 compliant

- Negative factor: 100% Inferred category

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Maiden Resource**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: First formal MRE for the project — establishes baseline but typically exploration-stage with high Inferred component.

Why it applies: The report confirms the 'initial mineral resource estimate' for the Loki Deposit.

Evidence · text

> supports the initial mineral resource estimate

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The entire resource is classified as Inferred.

Evidence · text

> Total Inferred Resource : 11.31 Mt

**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 is part of a filed NI 43-101 Technical Report.

Evidence · text

> Abasca Resources Files NI 43-101 Technical Report

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: The release details the use of blanks, standards, and repeats, and names an accredited lab.

Evidence · text

> included the insertion of blanks, standard reference materials, and repeats

**Cut-off Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison.

Why it applies: The cut-off grade of 2.78% Cg is explicitly stated.

Evidence · text

> Cut-off Grade : 2.78 % Cg

## 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.
