-bench scale testing successfully produces high-grade Borax-
VICTORIA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 5, 2024 / Boron One Holdings Inc. ("Boron One" or the "Company") (TSXV:BONE), a company committed to the decarbonization of Planet Earth through the responsible utilization of its boron assets, is pleased to report that it has successfully produced high-grade Borax pentahydrate, derived from feedstock originating from its 100 percent owned Piskanja Boron Property.
Tim Daniels, CEO of Boron One Holdings stated, "We are very excited with the outcome of this testing. Our business model includes the addition of high value boron derivatives in order to help ensure the monetization of our entire deposit, diversify our revenue streams, and maximize shareholder returns by creating some value-added products for the product mix. Importantly, we were able to produce the borax in our testing by utilizing straightforward chemical processes and readily available production equipment."
The bench-scale testing was conducted on behalf of Boron One by ALS Metallurgy in Australia. The testing confirmed the ability to produce high purity Borax from the Company's colemanite. QXRD analysis indicated that the process generated Borax pentahydrate with a purity of 99.8 to 100 percent. As a result of this positive bench-scale testing, the Company intends to work to further optimize the parameters and processes involved, followed by bulk-scale production tests.
Tim Daniels continued, "This development is of potential strategic importance to us, as a number of possible off takers and strategic partners that we are in discussions with, have expressed a substantial need for Borax."
