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.
