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."

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 Price Breaks US$3,400, Silver Added to Draft US Critical Minerals List

The gold price was on the rise this week, breaking through US$3,400 per ounce once again.

It's been pushed higher by US dollar weakness, as well as Federal Reserve turmoil.

President Donald Trump has been pressuring Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates for months, and on Monday (August 25) the situation developed further when Trump posted a letter on his social media platform Truth Social. In it, he said he was removing Lisa Cook from her position on the central bank's board of governors due to allegations of mortgage fraud.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Trifecta Shines with 117 Percent Gain

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

Statistics Canada released its second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) figures on Friday (August 29). The data showed that the Canadian economy shrank 0.4 percent in the second quarter and declined 1.6 percent on an annualized basis. The decrease comes following first-quarter gains of 0.5 percent and a 2 percent annualized increase.

Much of the decrease was attributed to a 7.5 percent drop in exports compared to Q1. Canadian exports had risen 1.4 percent in the first three months of the year as US companies increased imports to get ahead of incoming tariffs.Excluding the lower costs at the pumps, CPI remained steady at 2.5 percent, the same increase as May and June.

Navigating Uncertainty: How Trump's Tariffs Are Affecting the Gold Market

The gold price has been on the rise in 2025 as a slew of factors work in its favor.

Central bank buying has long been a key point of support, as has escalating conflict in the Middle East and elsewhere. A newer addition is tariff tensions as the Trump administration fleshes out trade policies.
