## Minestarters Atlas summary

Graphano Energy Ltd. announced final assay results from its inaugural nine-hole drill program at the Black Pearl graphite project in Quebec, Canada. The program successfully confirmed extensive near-surface graphite mineralization across multiple conductive trends, with significant intercepts including 12.25 metres at 4.81% graphitic carbon \(Cg\) and 8.61 metres at 11.33% Cg. These results underscore the district-scale potential of the Black Pearl-Standard Mine area and represent a significant milestone for resource expansion.

Reasoning: The first-ever drill program at Black Pearl successfully confirmed extensive near-surface graphite mineralization with several high-grade and broad intercepts, indicating district-scale potential and expanding the resource base, supported by disclosed QA/QC and QP sign-off.

Facts used in scoring: 25

## Classification and evidence

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states that 'Intervals are core length. True width will be defined with additional drilling', indicating that true widths are not yet known.

Evidence · table

> Intervals are core length. True width will be defined with additional drilling

Context: Notes:

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The release mentions that 'All drill core samples were sampled, stored and shipped using industry best practices and were delivered to Activation Laboratories \('ACTLABS'\), Ancaster, Ontario, for sample preparation and analyses' and 'The core sample program also included field duplicates, blanks and a graphite standard sample for quality control and quality assurance \(QA/QC\) purposes.'

Evidence · text

> The core sample program also included field duplicates, blanks and a graphite standard sample for quality control and quality assurance \(QA/QC\) purposes.

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

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: The scientific and technical content has been reviewed and approved by 'Roger Dahn, B.Sc., P.Geo., a director of the Company and a "Qualified Person" as defined in National Instrument 43-101'.

Evidence · text

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

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The document states that 'This mineralization remains open in all directions' for hole BP25-06 and mentions 'graphite zone expansion' as a focus.

Evidence · text

> This mineralization remains open in all directions.

**Low Core Recovery**

Polarity: negative

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: A note in the drill hole results table indicates that 'In hole BP25-03, the interval from 12.0 to 16.7 metres grading 7.37% Cg over 4.7 metres includes a sample interval \(from 12.0 to 13.0 metres\) grading 8.09% Cg which had 30% core recovery.'

Evidence · table

> 30% core recovery

Context: In hole BP25-03, the interval from 12.0 to 16.7 metres grading 7.37% Cg over 4.7 metres includes a sample interval \(from 12.0 to 13.0 metres\) grading 8.09% Cg which had 30% core recovery.

## 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.
