Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves have not demonstrated economic viability. Additional trenching and/or drilling will be required to convert Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resources to Measured Mineral Resources. There is no certainty that any part of a Mineral Resource will ever be converted into Reserves. All analyses used for the Resource Estimates were performed by ALS Minerals Laboratories and delivered as % Cg, internal analytical code C-IR18. Inferred Mineral Resources represent material that is considered too speculative to be included in economic evaluations. Additional trenching and/or drilling will be required to convert Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated or Measured Mineral Resources. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher resource category. Current Resource effective May 20, 2022. 6. Mineral Resources are stated at a cut-off grade of 1.78% Cg. 7. Standards used for this resource update are the same standards produced over the course of the Feasibility Study (results published December 10, 2018) and the Resource Update (results published March 19, 2020). The difference comes mainly from a newly accessible land package along the Hydro-Québec power line.

Eng., of BBA Inc. The effective date of the estimate is July 6, 2022. Mineral reserves were estimated using a graphite concentrate selling price of C$2,137/tonne, and consider a 2% royalty, and selling costs of C$47.92/tonne. An average grade of 97% was considered for the graphite concentrate. A metallurgical recovery of 93% was used. A cut-off grade of 2.20% Cg was used. The strip ratio for the open pit is 1.16 to 1. The Mineral Reserves are inclusive of mining dilution and ore loss. The reference point for the mineral reserves is the primary crusher. Totals may not add due to rounding. + 42 + PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL MMG#43+UATNAN - A WORLD-CLASS DEPOSIT CURRENT MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE Notes: 1. 2. The Mineral Resources provided in this table were estimated by M. Rachidi P.Geo., and C. Duplessis, Eng., (QPs) of GoldMinds Geoservices Inc., using current Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines. Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, market or other relevant issues. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Mineral Resources are uncertain in nature and there has not been sufficient work to define these Inferred Mineral Resources as indicated or Measured Mineral Resources. There is no certainty that any part of a Mineral Resource will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. The Mineral Resources presented here were estimated with a block size of 3mE x 3mN x 3mZ. The blocks were interpolated from equal-length composites (3 m) calculated from the mineralized intervals. The Mineral Resource estimate was completed using the inverse distance to the square methodology utilizing three runs. For run 1, the number of composites was limited to ten with a maximum of two composites from the same drillhole. For runs two and three the number of composites was limited to ten with a maximum of one composite from the same drillhole. The Measured Mineral Resources classified using a minimum of four drillholes. Indicated resources classified using a minimum of two drillholes. The Inferred Mineral Resources were classified by a minimum of one drillholes. Tonnage estimates are based on a fixed density of 2.9 t/m3. A pit shell to constrain the Mineral Resources was developed using the parameters presented in Table 4. The effective date of the current Mineral Resources is January 10, 2023. Mineral Resources are stated at a cut-off grade of 5.75% C(g).
