[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nDate: 19 June 2023 Blencowe Resources\n \nFurther metallurgical test work confirms high quality of end products from Orom-Cross\n \nHighlights:\n· Blencowe successfully completes critical metallurgical test work on a substantially increased scale of 150kgs by leading Chinese graphite metallurgical test laboratory at Wuhan University.\n· Previous metallurgical test work by both SGS in Canada and IMO in Australia based on smaller sample sizes.\n· Results continue to highlight a high grade, low impurity concentrate.\n· Refinements to the processing methodology delivers;\no Increased percentage of higher value large and jumbo flakes within the 97% concentrate (36% increases to 38%).\no Increased recoveries (90% increases to 93%).\n· Blencowe now has considerably more volume of end product concentrate to send to potential offtake and strategic parties ahead.\n \nBlencowe Resources Plc (\"Blencowe\" or the \"Company\"), is pleased to announce that additional metallurgical test work on its Orom-Cross graphite project in Northern Uganda has been completed by the leading Chinese graphite technical specialist laboratory, based at Wuhan University. This is recognised as one of the most experienced graphite facilities in the world and has been conducting similar tests to improve graphite processing methodology for over 30 years.\nThis test work is also critical to understanding the quality of the end-product that Orom-Cross can deliver as a high-grade graphite concentrate, as well as what the process flow will look like to achieve this on a commercial scale. It also provides significantly greater quantum of end product for end user testing, which is critical within the Definitive Feasibility Study (\"DFS\").\nMetallurgical Test Work Objectives\nBlencowe appointed Wuhan University in partnership with Jilin New Technology to undertake metallurgical test work on material gathered from its drilling campaigns, which covered both the Northern Syncline and Camp Lode areas within Orom-Cross.\nThe program was designed to deliver the following objectives:\n1. &n...
