VICTORIA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 4, 2023 / Boron One Holdings Inc. ("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 that its study titled, "Geological Elaborate on Resources and Reserves for the Piskanja Boron Project" (the "Elaborate") has undergone a review by an independent commission of local mining experts (the "Commission"), who is tasked by the Serbian Mining Ministry with vetting projects which are seeking its approval for a mineral exploitation license. Review and approval of the Elaborate by the Commission is a requisite step in the exploitation licensing process.
In its written decision to the Company, the Commission has requested that certain additional information be included in the study, in the form of an Annex to the Elaborate. The Company has 30 days to submit the Annex for further review.
"We are pleased to be nearing the end of the vetting process for the Elaborate," said Tim Daniels, President of Boron One. "It is not unusual for the Commission to request additional data, as they have done in our case. For the most part, the additional studies and analysis requested by the Commission have already been completed as part of our feasibility study workflow. That information is now being repurposed in the Elaborate as an Annex, and will be ready for submission to the Commission shortly."
Specifically, the Commission has requested the addition of a technological analysis of the minerals from the Piskanja deposit (i.e. metallurgical testing and beneficiation workflows), the impact of such metallurgical findings on the Piskanja project economics, and a modified resource calculation (if and as needed) re-classifying the economically minable tonnage (as may be impacted by any modification to the effective cutoff grades and minable thicknesses, as a result of the metallurgical work results). Lastly, the Commission requested an amended technical-economic assessment of the resource at Piskanja based on the inclusion of these obtained/calculated factors, including an updated graphic presentation of the mineral bodies.
