Blencowe's CEO Mike Ralston commented:
"Orom-Cross is building strong momentum as we approach DFS completion. Ahead of the study's conclusion, we expect the first in a series of assay results from our recent successful infill drilling campaign, which will underpin a material resource upgrade and considerably enhance project economics."
"Together with our strategic partnerships, our established infrastructure at site and our strong ESG credentials, we are positioning Orom-Cross to enter the financing phase as a significantly de-risked and globally competitive graphite project."

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 coarse 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. Blencowe has already completed a successful Pre-Feasibility Study on the Project and is now within the final stage of the Definitive Feasibility Study phase as it drives towards first production.
Orom-Cross presents as a large, shallow open-pitable deposit, with an initial JORC Indicated & Inferred Mineral Resource of 24.5Mt @ 6.0% TGC (Total Graphite Content). This Resource has been defined from only ~2% of the total tenement area which presents considerable upside potential ahead.
Development of the resource is expected to benefit from a low strip ratio and free dig operations together with abundant inexpensive hydro-electric power off the national grid, thereby ensuring low operating costs. With all major infrastructure available at or near to site the capital costs will also be relatively low in comparison to most graphite peers.
