(\"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 on a third and final, positive set of results from bulk-scale metallurgical testing conducted on samples from its 100% owned Piskanja Boron Property (\"Piskanja\"). The testing returned a commercial grade of Boric Acid (with a 56.03% B2O3 content and a leach recovery rate of 87.2%). These results meet the specifications of Boric Acid commercially produced by other leading boron producers.With the conclusion of this final bulk metallurgical testing program, the Company has successfully demonstrated the potential for all borate mineral zones found within Piskanja (colemanite, ulexite, and mixed borates zones) to produce commercial-quality finished products on par with those found by other leading global producers, while utilizing low cost, effective beneficiation methods that deploy off-the-shelf technologies.\"We are very pleased by the results of the recent three bulk testing programs, as we have now demonstrated the ability to monetize the entire Piskanja deposit\" said Tim Daniels, CEO of Boron One Holdings. \"Importantly, this metallurgical work was the final external study which was needed in order to complete our Serbian compliant feasibility study. The engineering group authoring our feasibility study has confirmed that it is integrating these metallurgical results into the feasibility study, and that it will be ready for submission by the filing due date.\"Highlights of metallurgical testsMixed borate (sodium/calcium/silica borate conglomerate): A blended sample of approximately 170 kgs, representing each of the mixed borate zones within Piskanja (with the test sample blended head grade of 28.0% B2O3, approximating that of the aver...
