Beowulf Mining plc

("Beowulf" or the "Company")

Drilling for higher-grade mineralisation starts at Aitolampi

 

Beowulf (AIM: BEM; Spotlight: BEO), the Nordic focused mineral exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that drilling, targeting both higher-grade mineralisation and high-priority geophysical anomalies, has started at its Aitolampi graphite project in Finland ("Aitolampi"). Aitolampi is part of the Company's 100% owned Exploration Permit Pitkäjärvi 1.

 

The drill plan includes seven holes for an approximate total of 1,040 metres ("m"). Four holes, 620m of drilling, are planned to test potential higher-grade mineralised zones to the south-east of drill hole AITDD18018 (completed in 2018 and which intersected 92.5m at 6.19% Total Graphitic Carbon ("TGC")). The three remaining holes will target high-priority geophysical anomalies untested by previous drilling. The drilling contract has been awarded to the Finnish contractor, Northdrill Oy.

 

The drilling programme will also generate sample material to support baseline environmental studies for Aitolampi, for graphite purification and spheroidization testwork, and the further assessment of Aitolampi graphite for battery applications as part of the Business Finland funded BATCircle Project.

Kurt Budge, CEO, commented:

 

"I am pleased that our exploration team is back in the field, and that we are again working with the Finnish contractor Northdrill at Aitolampi, as we seek to add higher-grade mineralisation to our existing resource.

 

"In 2018, Fennoscandian delivered a JORC compliant mineral resource estimate for Aitolampi, and in 2019 we are focused on further developing a 'resource footprint' of natural flake graphite in Finland that can provide 'security of raw material supply' and enable the country to achieve its ambition of self-sufficiency in battery manufacturing.

 

"I look forward to making further updates on our progress".

Aitolampi Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE"):

· On 13 August 2018, the Company announced the completed MRE for Aitolampi, highlights as follows:

o A global Indicated and Inferred Resource (JORC Code, 2012 edition) of 19.3 million tonnes ("Mt") at 4.5% TGC for 878,000 tonnes ("t") of contained graphite, comprising eastern and western lenses above a 3.0% TGC cut-off grade.

o A higher-grade Western Zone with an Indicated and Inferred Resource of 9.8 Mt at 5.0% TGC for 490,000 t of contained graphite.

o An Eastern Zone with an Indicated and Inferred Resource of 9.5 Mt at 4.1% TGC for 388,000 t of contained graphite.

o Using a 4.0% TGC cut-off grade on the grade-tonnage curve for Aitolampi, gives an Indicated and Inferred Resource of 12.8 Mt at 5.0% TGC for 639,000 t.

The Company's exploration team continues to evaluate each prospect in the Company's portfolio, with the objective of establishing a 'resource footprint' of natural flake graphite, that could support the developing battery manufacturing sector in Finland and satisfy the country's ambition to be self-sufficient in the production of battery minerals.
