Buxton Resources has just announced record-breaking results at our Graphite Bull Project in Western Australia. The standout highlight? A remarkable 124 meters at 16.6% Total Graphitic Carbon (TGC) from recent drilling, setting a new benchmark for the project! Key Points: ➡️ Significant intersections were achieved outside the existing resource area, hinting at considerable expansion potential. ➡️ A Mineral Resource update is anticipated in December 2024, with additional assays expected in mid-November. ➡️ These results not only underscore the high-grade potential of Graphite Bull but also strengthen Buxton's strategy to position itself as a key supplier in the lithium-ion battery market. With demand for high-quality graphite poised to surge, this discovery marks a pivotal step toward scaling up production and meeting the global needs for battery-grade materials. Stay tuned for more updates as Buxton continues its progress toward unlocking the full potential of this world-class asset!

4th iteration of Anson DLE partnership. They started with Lilac IX and made lithium sulphate concentrated eluate on 4 October 2018. Then Lilac IX switched to HCL to make lithium chloride concentrate for Anson from 2019. Then Anson switched to Sunresin adsorbent DLE. Now it’s trying Koch which uses Lanshen adsorbents. But if you look at Koch DLE results in the Standard Lithium DFS Technical Report, the Lithium recovery by LSS LiPro DLE was far inferior to LiSTR. So it looks like superior impurity rejection of LSS LiPro was the main selection criteria. Not lithium recovery efficiency as that still seems very low. That means more energy use is needed for reverse osmosis and mechanical evaporation to concentrate weak eluate - albeit with lower impurities. The devil is always in the DLE detail.
