Beowulf Mining PLC

2 June 2016

 

Beowulf Mining plc

("Beowulf" or the "Company")

Åtvidaberg nr 1 Swedish Exploration Licence Awarded

 

Beowulf (AIM: BEM; Aktietorget: BEO), the mineral exploration and development Company focused on the Kallak magnetite iron ore project in northern Sweden and its graphite portfolio in Finland, is pleased to announce that the Mining Inspectorate of Sweden has awarded the Company an Exploration Licence for Åtvidaberg nr 1, with the Company focusing on the prospect of polymetallic discoveries.

Overview

·   The licence area covers 225 square kilometres ("km2") and is located in the Bergslagen area, southern Sweden.  The licence is valid for 3 years from the 30 May 2016.

·   Bergslagen is one of Europe's oldest mining districts and yielded a substantial portion of Sweden's mineral wealth in the 1800-1900s, with a number of large mines and hundreds of smaller mines producing copper, zinc, lead, gold, silver and iron ore.  Current operating mines in the area include Boliden's Garpenberg and Lundin Mining's Zinkgruvan.

·   Most of southern Bergslagen has seen little modern exploration, yet it hosts Bersbo, one of Sweden's largest early copper mines, and Zinkgruvan, Sweden's most important zinc mine. 

·   Other than at Zinkgruvan, exploration activity in Bergslagen has predominantly focused on finding new outcropping ore bodies. Some historic mining areas have not been mapped here since the early 1900s. 

·   The ore types that Beowulf is exploring for are amenable to modern exploration methods, and the Company hopes to build a detailed picture of what lies at shallow depth.  The southern Bergslagen district comprises strong potential for the types of Volcanic Massive Sulphide ("VMS") deposits typical to the area, namely exhalative style, exemplified by the nearby Zinkgruvan mine, and replacement-reaction style, exemplified by the Falun mine.

·   Beowulf has created a Geographic Information System ("GIS") Database, capturing significant historical data for the area. Beowulf has also established an expert team who are familiar with the area, geological setting, and style of deposit we are exploring for.

Kurt Budge, CEO, commented:

 

"We are delighted to have been awarded an Exploration Licence for Åtvidaberg nr 1, maintaining our Nordic focus, while adding some commodity diversification to our asset base.

"We are reaffirming our commitment to doing business in Sweden, re-building our exploration activities with such an exciting prospect in the country. It's often said that the best place to explore is next to a producing mine, and that is the potential offered by Åtvidaberg, benefited also by its location in an established mining jurisdiction, with access to infrastructure and a highly skilled workforce.

"With both our graphite portfolio in Finland and polymetallic focus with Åtvidaberg, we are focused on 'intelligent exploration'. This includes managing our costs, understanding all the historic data that is available, efficiently committing resources to fieldwork to develop our knowledge base, to eventually define the best possible targets for drilling. 

"The Company already has personnel in the field conducting an initial 'brainstorming' assessment of priority targets, and an off-site expert team is analysing various aspects of the GIS database. The findings of these activities will inform our work for a second field programme later this summer.

"The board and I look forward to updating the market in due course on our progress."

Order for 75kVA Containerized Fuel Cell Stationary Power System  for the Orkney Islands "Surf and Turf" project

 

Proton Power Systems plc (AIM: PPS), a clean tech total power solution provider and designer, developer and producer of fuel cells and fuel cell electric hybrid systems, is proud to announce, that it has received an order for a 75kVA containerized fuel cell stationary power system for the Orkney Islands "Surf and Turf" project.

The 'Surf and Turf' project involves generating hydrogen from wind and tidal energy and using it as the energy storage medium. The hydrogen is used to provide electricity for the Orkney Islands harbour. The wind and seas around the Orkney Islands provide an abundance of renewable energy resources. Through concerted efforts, communities like Orkney Islands are now starting to see the benefits of ownership of renewable power generation capacity. This project will see the Orkney Islands take a small, but important, step towards rising to the challenge of managing the limits of its energy infrastructure. This project will help unlock the constraints imposed by 20th century power cables and a is great demonstration of how our technology can help overcome the shortcomings of the local electricity grid.

Proton will provide a 75kVA containerized fuel cell stationary power system for a total contract value of more than €0.5 million to be delivered in 2016.

Faiz Francoise Nahab Ph.D., CEO of Proton, said: "This is a very important order for us. The fuel cell system is based on our 25kVA system, which is operated in a modular mode. The container has all necessary components to be connected to the local grid. Proton is responsible for the turn key delivery of the container. We hope to see more applications in this market sector and more islands like the Orkney Islands taking a proactive role. Proton expects a fast growing demand worldwide for this type of applications. Storing wind and solar energy is a big challenge and we have the right solution to use such green energy in stationary or mobile applications".

Full scale trial of Xeros' technology in leather processing completed

 

Xeros Technology Group plc (AIM: XSG, 'Xeros' or 'the Group'), the innovative developer of patented polymer bead systems with multiple identified commercial applications, has successfully completed a full scale trial of its technology within a leading tannery.

The trial was part of a multi-phase joint development agreement with LANXESS Deutschland GmbH to advance the application of Xeros' patented polymer bead technology in the leather processing industry.

The full scale trial which was conducted by a leading independent tannery has shown that material reductions in water, chemistry and effluent are achievable by using Xeros' technology in the retanning and dyeing phase of leather processing.  When Xeros' technology was applied to this phase of the process, the water used and the effluent generated were reduced by over 50%. The leather produced was judged to be of excellent quality in terms of look, feel, and handle.

 

The Group intends to continue further trials to determine the maximum potential of its technology in this field whilst simultaneously progressing its commercialisation plan.

 

Mark Nichols, Chief Executive of Xeros, said:

                                                                                                         

 "This is an important development which hails a step change in the sustainability of the leather processing industry.

 

"This successful trial provides encouraging evidence of the momentum building across the Group's activities and demonstrates another application of our platform technology."

 

Note:

 

Leather processing involves four phases: beamhouse, tanning, retanning & dyeing and finishing. The trial just concluded focussed on the third phase in the process.
