Cameron Pearce, Non-Executive Chairman commented:

"Blencowe was formed for the purposes of acquiring a natural resources asset and the Board is pleased to announce completion of the acquisition of CARU, holder of the Orom Graphite Project. Graphite is a metal that has strong perceived future over the long term given that it is the largest component of the lithium-ion battery. We believe that the Orom Graphite Project can be globally significant due the high-quality product and size and scale of the target resource. The graphite is characterised by large and jumbo flake size with both high grade and purity that is in short supply for the battery metals sector. The Ugandan government are also keen to develop their mining sector and are supportive of seeing the Orom Graphite Project move forward. The Board looks forward to keeping shareholders informed of further developments of the Orom Graphite Project."
