    Qualified-Persons Technical Report
    A Technical Report to substantiate the Exploration Target size has been prepared showing the extent of previous mining. Based on a simple model of the known outcrops and underground mineral occurrences, 12 to 102 Mt of graphite-bearing ore is projected. Target ore grade ranges from 3% to 15%, which is one of the highest grades known in North America. It is likely that some portions of the ore body are richer and some poorer in graphite content.

    Note that an exploration target is not to be confused with a resource, as there is insufficient information available to estimate a mineral resource at this time. Furthermore, it is uncertain if future exploration of the target will result in the estimation of a mineral resource.
