## Minestarters Atlas summary

Graphano Energy Ltd. welcomes Canada's new Major Projects Office, which aims to accelerate critical mineral approvals. The company also restates its Lac Saguay graphite project resource estimate, comprising 1.64 Mt of Indicated and 1.58 Mt of Inferred resources at 7.00% Cg.

Reasoning: The company is highlighting a high-grade graphite resource and the positive impact of new Canadian regulatory streamlining, though the resource data itself is a restatement of a July 2025 report.

- Positive factor: High-grade graphite resource \(7.00% Cg\)

- Positive factor: Favorable regulatory environment with new Major Projects Office

- Positive factor: Strategic proximity to existing production \(Lac des Îles mine\)

- Positive factor: QP sign-off provided

- Negative factor: Resource is primarily Inferred

- Negative factor: Historical restatement of resource \(effective date July 2025\)

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**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 based on a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report.

Evidence · text

> See the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report, Lac Saguay Graphite Project, Quebec, Canada"

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: A significant portion of the reported resource is in the Inferred category.

Evidence · text

> Inferred Mineral Resource: 1,580,000 tonnes at 7.00% Cg

**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: Roger Dahn, B.Sc., P.Geo. is named as the Qualified Person.

Evidence · text

> reviewed and approved by Roger Dahn, B.Sc., P.Geo., a director of the Company and a "Qualified Person"

## 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.
