(\"Boron One\" or the \"Company\") [TSXV:BONE], a company dedicated to the decarbonization of Planet Earth through the responsible utilization of its boron assets, is pleased to report positive results from bulk-scale metallurgical testing conducted on samples from its 100% owned Piskanja Boron Property (\"Piskanja\"). The testing returned a commercial grade of ulexite concentrate with a 57.96% B2O3 content (66.9% mass recovery), which meets or exceeds the specifications of ulexite concentrate products commercially available from other leading boron producers.\"There are many market applications for ulexite concentrate. The fact that we were able to demonstrate the production of commercial grade ulexite concentrate by deploying a simple and cost-efficient beneficiation circuit is welcomed news \" said Tim Daniels, CEO of Boron One Holdings.Bulk-scale metallurgical test results for the mixed borate zones within Piskanja are expected shortly. Colemanite, ulexite, and mixed borates zones represent the entire composition of Piskanja mineralization.Highlights of metallurgical testsUlexite: A blended sample weighing approximately 170 kg, representing each of the ulexite zones within Piskanja (with a test sample blended head grade which closely approximates that of the average ulexite grade found within Piskanja overall) underwent grinding, and calcination, and resulted in the production of a sales-grade ulexite concentrate with a 57.96% B2O3 content.BackgroundBoron One Holdings Inc. and its operation subsidiary, Balkan Gold, retained the services of ALS Metallurgy in Bernie, Australia to conduct a mineralogical assessment, a bench-scale metallurgical test program, and ultimately a bulk-scale testing program, on composites representing a number of the drill core intervals on borate materials originating from Boron One's Piskanja Boron Project. ALS Metallurgy is an experienced provider of metallurgical testwork to the boron industry, having worked extensively with borates from various locations globally. Materials from the 3 distinct mineral zones...
