Blencowe Resources #BRES – Orom-Cross Graphite Excels in SAFELOOP Product Testing

Blencowe Resources (LSE: BRES) is pleased to announce significant progress within Project SAFELOOP, a European Union-led initiative under the €100 billion Horizon Europe Programme focussed on the European Union’s renewable energy transition. SAFELOOP aims to deliver a Gen3 Lithium-ion battery for standardised EV buses, prioritising safety, recycling, and high performance. Blencowe is the exclusive supplier of natural flake graphite to the project.

In collaboration with its US-based technical partner and graphite specialist American Energy Technologies Co. (“AETC”), Orom-Cross graphite has undergone initial testing and upgrading to battery quality material, delivering standout results. Testing confirmed the exceptional purity of Orom-Cross graphite, with thermal refinement to 99.98% wt%C – exceeding industry standards. Furthermore, composite anodes produced with Orom-Cross graphite achieved an outstanding 68.4 wt% natural graphite content, one of the highest loadings ever recorded in the battery industry, thus reinforcing its strategic importance in advanced battery applications.

Highlights:

·    Ultra-Pure Graphite: Orom-Cross graphite thermally refined to 99.98% wt%C, demonstrating exceptional purity over and above market standards.

·    Industry-Leading Loadings: Composite anodes using Orom-Cross graphite achieved 68.4 wt% natural graphite content – one of the highest loadings recorded in the battery industry specific to the EV battery anode composition.

·    Superior Performance: Initial electrochemical tests indicate outstanding results, driven by the unique properties of Orom-Cross graphite.

·    Strategic Potential: SAFELOOP’s anticipated graphite concentrate demand from Orom-Cross could lead to substantial, high-value offtake opportunities. 

Technical Insights and SAFELOOP Progress

During November 2024, Orom-Cross graphite samples were processed by AETC as part of the SAFELOOP initiative. These samples underwent thermal purification, shaping, and composite preparation in which they were co-processed with synthetic graphite to create high-performance anodes.

AETC, alongside other SAFELOOP expert partners, is advancing the development of a high-quality Gen3 Li-ion battery (“LIB”) for Electric Vehicles to be deployed on European soil. Test work completed to date indicates exceptionally promising results in the targeted EV application using Orom-Cross graphite, showcasing its premium quality.

In one of the composites produced during shaping and classification the amount of Orom-Cross natural graphite was a remarkable 68.4 wt% – this is by far one of the highest loadings of natural graphite into a composition of EV battery anodes known in the battery industry. By way of reference, EV anodes are usually synthetic graphite dominant, with the content of synthetic graphite generally representing anywhere from 75-100% of anode composition.

Testing will continue into the next phase as the SAFELOOP project evolves.

SAFELOOP estimates for graphite concentrate volumes required from Orom-Cross to fulfil battery demand is projected to be substantial, should the project transition to commercial-scale production.  The SAFELOOP channel therefore represents a tier one opportunity for Blencowe, with the potential for premium pricing far exceeding typical market levels. 

Executive Chairman Cameron Pearce commented:

“We are very pleased to see such remarkable results from Orom-Cross graphite, overlaid with AETC’s processing expertise and other SAFELOOP partners’ involvement.  Achieving an ultra-pure 99.98% wt%C graphite and one of the highest natural graphite loadings ever recorded at 68.4 wt% underscores the high quality of our graphite deposit and validates the differentiated strategy we have pursued. SAFELOOP aligns perfectly with our development timeline and its potential scale offers an exceptional and valuable offtake channel for the future.”

“Our focus remains on delivering a unique project that stands out in the graphite sector. By pursuing high-value opportunities like micronisation, downstream processing, and now SAFELOOP, we are securing the long-term success of Orom-Cross and building shareholder value.” 

AETC Manager of Government Relationship, Anna Doninger commented:

“The preliminary conclusions of the test work conducted to date is that Blencowe’s natural graphite could become an enabling technology for making an EV battery grade composite anodes which contain both natural crystalline flake and synthetic graphites as a coherent whole, and which are simultaneously dominant in their use of natural graphite, behaving at an impressive level in electrochemical performance. This is yet another testimony to the premium quality of Blencowe’s natural graphite and its excellent potential for application in the EV battery market.” 

Strategic Outlook

Blencowe is proud to support SAFELOOP in developing safer, part-recycled, high-performance EV batteries. The Company continues to position Orom-Cross as a globally significant graphite project through innovation, strategic partnerships, and market differentiation.

#BRES Blencowe Resources PLC – Commencement of Drilling

Blencowe Resources Plc (“Blencowe” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that drilling has now commenced on the Phase 7 exploration programme at its Orom-Cross graphite project in Uganda. This 6,750 metre campaign will be the final drilling programme for the purposes of completing the DFS and establishing an updated JORC Resource to support the expanded mining operations at Orom-Cross.

Highlights:

·    6,750 metre programme designed to substantially increase both Resources and Reserves for inclusion into Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”).

·    Infill drilling on existing deposits to upgrade resource base and classification of all Inferred materials to Indicated and Measured.

·    Drilling of new high grade target deposits to define additional Resources.

·    Geotechnical drilling for confirmation of pit slope parameters for mine planning.

·    Trenching and mapping over licences for future resource targeting

·    Upgrade of access roads for all weather access.

·    Permanent exploration camp to be commissioned.

The Phase 7 programme will involve drilling over the identified Camp Lode and Northern Syncline deposits, where the Company has already established an existing JORC Resource of 24.5Mt @ 6%. The objective of this drilling is primarily to upgrade existing Indicated and Inferred resources to Measured, under the JORC guidelines.

The Company will also target extensions to the Northern Syncline (Western Limb) as well as the exciting new prospective Southern GT-01 target. Whilst the current average grade of 6% at Orom-Cross is already in the top quartile globally of graphite projects, historical work undertaken by the Company has highlighted the potential for even higher grades in these areas.

As a component of the programme several holes will be drilled to provide the necessary geotechnical information for the confirmation of pit design parameters and slope stability parameters for the project. These holes will also double as Resource definition information. The drilling and subsequent assessment will be undertaken by local Ugandan drilling firm ADT Drilling, whilst Minrom Consulting from South Africa will undertake the geological assessment alongside Middindi Consulting. Both ADT and Minrom have been associated with the Orom-Cross project since 2012 and have a solid understanding of the project.

Other works planned as part of this programme include trenching and mapping on additional areas outlined from aeromagnetics, designed to identify further areas for future resource expansion, noting the existing JORC Resource sits on just ~2% (as drilled to date) of the broader Orom-Cross licence.

The Company has also commissioned the establishment of a permanent exploration camp onsite, with portable units for accommodation and messing being erected onsite to support ongoing operations.  These constitute the first fixed facilities on-site, representing a key milestone for Blencowe as it drives Orom-Cross towards first production.

Executive Chairman Cameron Pearce commented:

“We have now started the latest drilling programme at Orom-Cross after considerable preparation work undertaken during December.  This extensive campaign will be one of the last key components to wrapping up the DFS and we aim to deliver considerably larger Resources and Reserves to support the higher production levels expected, as well as a longer life of mine.

“We remain on track to complete the DFS in H1 2025 and we expect to begin reporting drilling results during the current quarter.”

Background

Orom-Cross Graphite Project

Orom-Cross is a potential world class graphite project both by size and end-product quality, with a high component of more valuable larger flakes within the deposit.

A 21-year Mining Licence for the project was issued by the Ugandan Government in 2019 following extensive historical work on the deposit and Blencowe is now within the Definitive Feasibility Study phase as it drives towards first production.

Orom-Cross presents as a large, shallow open-pitable deposit, with a maiden JORC Indicated & Inferred Mineral Resource deposit of 24.5Mt @ 6.0% Total Graphite Content. Development of the resource is expected to benefit from a low strip ratio and free dig operations, thereby ensuring lower operating and capital costs.

In 3Q 2024 Blencowe introduced a Joint Venture concept with experienced downstream graphite processing partners to ultimately produce upgraded 99.95% SPG (spheronised, purified graphite) in Uganda.  This strategy has several key advantages including additional returns and substantial cost savings which will assist deliver a world class project once DFS is completed.

Blencowe also announced full Minerals Security Partnership (MSP) accreditation in 2024 which provides additional tier-one credibility plus further support from this highly influential quasi-Government organisation.  Together with the US$5 million grant funds received from the US Government via the Development Finance Corporation, the Company is building unique and solid relationships to assist with funding solutions for Orom-Cross project implementation.

#BRES Blencowe Resources – 600 TONNE PROCESSING GRAPHITE TO BATTERY READY SPG

Blencowe Resources Plc (LSE: BRES) announces the successful completion of the last internal stage of the graphite pre-qualification test program, being upgrading of substantial quantity of small flake concentrate into battery ready 99.95% uncoated SPG by leading SPG producer, Qingdao TaiDa Carbon (“TaiDa”).

Definitive Feasibility Study Progress

Key DFS milestones now achieved, including:

·    Metallurgical testing: Completion of 600 tonne commercial scale test work on Orom-Cross concentrate.

·    SPG Production: Large volume of battery-ready uncoated SPG successfully produced by TaiDa and now sent for testing by potential tier one Asian customers.

·    Water Borefield Completion: Essential water borefield at Orom-Cross now completed.

·    Micronisation Testing: Successfully completed at AETC in Chicago producing all five key product ranges.

·    ESIA Update: Updated Environmental and Social Impact Assessment submitted for local authority approval.

·    ESG Update: Successful certification of Environmental and Social Governance (“ESG”), policies and procedures.

SPG Product Samples Shipped – Final Step Toward Offtake Agreements

Blencowe has processed fine flake concentrate into commercial scale volumes of high quality uncoated SPG (99.95% spheronised, purified graphite) via graphite industry leader TaiDa, and commenced delivery of samples to potential tier one customers in South Korea and Japan for their in-house testing. This is the final step for qualification of Orom-Cross material for commercial use by these potential customers and is the pathway toward securing future offtake agreements. Samples are also being supplied to major Chinese battery manufacturers.

Senior management are currently visiting the testing firms along with various Asian OEMs to advance discussions towards offtake agreements.

Additional Value-Added Testing Completed

Blencowe has successfully concluded further testing with leading US graphite expert American Energy Technologies (“AETC”) in Chicago to further beneficiate fines concentrate into a range of high value specialised micronised products. These niche products, offering up to 10 times the value of basic fines concentrate, can add significant additional value to Orom-Cross ahead and are thus being integrated into the DFS plant design and overall production strategy.  Samples will now be tested by potential offtakers as the next step towards sale agreements.

Uganda Operations Update

Blencowe has submitted an updated ESIA to reflect the revised Orom-Cross operation plan, enhancing content of environmental and social commitments to align with guidelines from potential funding parties.

A water borefield at Orom-Cross has also been completed, ensuring sustainable life-of-mine water supply for the project and local communities. The project also included refurbishing bores and establishing water supplies for the local school and clinic as part of Blencowe’s social commitment.

Blencowe has also successfully achieved ESG accreditation through well-known industry agency, Digbee ESG, for its current policies and planning on ESG. This certification is a major step towards satisfying both the investment community and industry expectations for sustainable and environmentally responsible operations at Orom-Cross.

Significant progress continues within the DFS, including plant design, power supply studies, and infrastructure development.

Cameron Pearce, Executive Chairman commented;

“We continue to make solid progress, including the completion of the 600-tonne bulk sample metallurgical test work from source material to battery-ready products. We aim to build on our initial offtake agreement already announced (for 15,000tpa large flake concentrate) and gain further endorsement from potential tier one consumers of SPG. Once we have assembled a range of customers and offtake agreements, we have effectively de-risked the project ahead of project financing and construction, therefore the next few months will be highly value accretive for the Company.

 We expect this final external customer testing, including shipping product within Asia, to take approximately one month to complete, and thereafter we will be able to discuss offtake agreements with our senior management team visiting various Asian parties regularly.”
