Goldcore commences shipping Graphite for preparation to build a test battery

(TheNewswire)



Goldcore Resources Ltd (TSXV:GEM ) ( FSE:BK2P ) ( WKN:A2QENP) ("Goldcore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that several tonnes of graphitic rock sample collected over the past four years from the Company's drill programs, as well as surface trenching programs are presently in transit to Base Metallurgical Laboratories Ltd. ("Base Metallurgical" www.basemetlabs.com) to be processed to produce approximately 1,000 kg of graphite concentrate.  This material will be used to produce battery anode material for the making of test batteries.

Base Metallurgical will crush, float and clean the graphitic rock sample material from Goldcore's Berkwood Graphite project located in Northern Quebec.  Base Metallurgical are considered one of the leading industry experts in their field and have extensive experience in the flotation concentration process.

Michel Robert states, " Base Metallurgical is well known for it's mineral processing expertise, based on many years of industrial experience."

The concentrate produced by Base Metallurgical will be sent to ProGraphite to purify to 99.95% (See News Release dated August 27 th , 2019), and to make spherical graphite and further to coat the graphite for application in the anode components of test batteries.

Spheroidization of natural graphite is important in a battery as it increases the availability of conductive surface area that improves battery efficiency owing to increased graphite packing density in the anode, whilst coating the spherical graphite , slows oxidation of the graphite to extend the number of recharging cycles and the life of the battery.

CEO Tom Yingling states: " I am very pleased to have commenced shipping of our Graphite to Base Metallurgical as it is a key step towards getting our Graphite prepared for testing in Lithium Ion Batteries.  It will also move us closer towards getting the 1,000 kgs we need in order to commence shipping 15 kg parcels of the Company's High Grade Graphite to Lithium Ion Battery manufacturers and or other consumers of Graphite, which is one of the key steps to potentially securing an offtake agreement."

Qualified Person: Mr. Dave Kelsch, P.Geo. is a Qualified Person ( "QP" ) as defined by National Instrument 43-101 guidelines, and he has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release.

About the Company: Goldcore Resources is managed by a team with over 150 years collectively with a proven track record of not just finding numerous mines but building and operating them too. The Goldcore management team's most recent success is the discovery of the Berkwood Graphite resource in Northern Quebec. Goldcore owns this asset 100 percent and the Company's shareholders will benefit from this asset as the demand for Graphite for electric vehicles increases significantly.

Editor's Picks: Gold Knocks Out Inflation-Adjusted High, Silver Breaks US$42

Gold's record-setting price run continued this week, with yet another new all-time high in the books. Silver also fared well, breaking US$42 per ounce.

According to Bloomberg, gold has now also surpassed its inflation-adjusted all-time high of US$850 per ounce, which it set more than 45 years ago on January 21, 1980. The news outlet notes that at the time the US was dealing with currency issues, inflation and recession concerns.

These are problems that sound all too familiar today. This week brought the release of the latest US consumer price index (CPI) data, which shows a 0.4 percent month-on-month increase for the all-items index — that's ahead of estimates and the most since the start of 2025.
