(\"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 colemanite concentrate with a 42.2% B2O3 content (75.3% recovery), which meets or exceeds the specifications of colemanite concentrate products commercially available from other leading boron producers.\"These test results are excellent, reinforcing the fact that we were able to produce commercial grade colemanite by deploying a simple and cost-efficient beneficiation circuit that utilizes off-the-shelf equipment and protocols \" said Tim Daniels, CEO of Boron One Holdings.Bulk-scale metallurgical test results for ulexite, and mixed borate zones are expected shortly. Colemanite, ulexite, and mixed borates zones represent the entire composition of Piskanja mineralization.Highlights of metallurgical testsColemanite: A blended sample weighing approximately 170 kg, representing each of the colemanite zones within Piskanja (with the test sample blended head grade of 36.8% B2O3, closely approximating that of the average colemanite grade found within Piskanja overall) underwent grinding, attrition scrubbing and screening, and resulted in the production of a sales-grade colemanite concentrate with a 42.2% B2O3 content (at a 75.3% recovery rate).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 indust...
