-
Deposit Remains Open
Qualified Person recommends further drilling to extend the deposit along strike and at depth and to upgrade Inferred resources to Indicated.

Analysis · ATCX · Energy & Transportation
The independent S-K 1300 technical report establishes a maiden resource of 17.2 Mt Indicated at 5.73% graphitic carbon plus 7.0 Mt Inferred at 5.40% — a combined 24.2 Mt at a 2.0% cut-off. Metallurgical work shows flotation concentrates of up to 96.5% graphitic carbon and thermal purification reaching 99.9995% purity without halogen gas, supporting potential high-value battery and nuclear-grade applications. For a company with a market cap near $15 million and only $5.54 million in cash as of July 2026, this de-risks the project technically but does not address the funding gap for further drilling and feasibility work.
