BUX - Buxton Resources

The long struggle by Buxton in chart form since 2009.

The high point since 2009 was 64c in October 2012 so at 25c there is still a long way to go. Or 92c allowing for inflation.

The Buxton share price has slipped back from a high of 27c intraday. The prospects look very good but in these markets for microcap explorers it's difficult to be quite certain.

This was the 2014 original drilling report for graphite at Yalbra. High Grade but what is high grade versus the size of the graphite? Always a conundrum looking at High Grade gold and bonanza gold finds the terms first used a long time back and quite dated now.
Referred to as a 'truly goliath graphite find' and now known as one of Australia's largest. The test now is whether a major is interested - so far nothing is reported so buying the shares is a bit of a gamble but at 18c looks a fair evens bet I reckon.
 
Battery Grade Graphite:

Spherical graphite (SpG), also known as battery-grade graphite, is the product that is consumed as an anode in lithium-ion batteries. Flake graphite concentrate is processed into ultra-high-purity (>99.95% C) with particle sizes ranging from 10 micron to 25 micron. These are then used as a battery anode material.

Tesla has agreed to a deal with Magnis Energy Technologies, which makes materials for electric-vehicle batteries, to secure supplies of graphite. Because of losses in the manufacturing process, it actually takes over 30 times as much graphite to make the batteries. There is up to 10 kgs of graphite in the average HEV and up to 70 kgs in an EV. There is far more in a Tesla Model S.

Lithium stole the spotlight last year as demand for electric vehicles ballooned, yet a critical component of lithium-ion batteries, graphite, has been mostly overlooked. Without graphite a lithium battery simply won't work and there is no real substitute.

Graphite is thus considered indispensable to the global shift towards electric vehicles. It is also the largest component in lithium-ion batteries by weight, with each battery containing 20-30% graphite.

World’s first battery-grade graphite producer outside of China​

Australia’s Renascor Resources has confirmed it has raised AUD 15 million ($11.6 million) to fund its Siviour battery anode material project up to the construction phase. The project will be the world’s first integrated mine and purified spherical graphite operation outside of China.
 
Moving on. Buxton's original grade graphite before 2022/2023 drilling is 4 Mt @ 16.2 % TGC Total Graphite Carbon.

A similar company Burke Graphite at least by grades anyway: https://lithiumenergy.com.au/graphite/burke-graphite-project/
Testwork has confirmed that the Burke Graphite Project contains very high grade natural graphite that is able to be processed by standard flotation technology to international benchmark product categories for use in Lithium-ion batteries.
The Burke Graphite Deposit is one of the highest-grade graphite deposits globally, with a JORC Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.3Mt @ 16.0% Total Graphitic Carbon (TGC) (with a TGC cut-off grade of 5%) for 1,000,000 tonnes of contained graphite (including a high grade component of 2.3Mt @20.6% TGC).

As Buxton Resources' graphite is the same grade as Burke Graphite's it is very likely, though not confirmed, to be battery grade if processed by standard flotation technology to international benchmark product categories for use in Lithium-iron batteries.
 
COPPER WOLF PROJECT UPDATE Copper Wolf BUX 100% / IGO Option to earn 70%, Arizona, USA

• Diamond drilling to commence in March subject to rig availability

 
Buxton's next drilling announcement looks likely to be the The Copper Wolf contract where drilling started in March, in Arizona. IGO has an option to earn up to 70%. Further results are expected for the Graphite Bull project.

COPPER WOLF PROJECT – Drilling
June 5, 2023
Https://hotcopper.com.au/threads/ann-copper-wolf-project-drilling.7414672/?source=email
Buxton Resources Ltd (ASX: BUX) is pumped to update shareholders that it has made a major breakthrough at its Copper Wolf Project in Arizona. The company's first drill hole, CW0001DD, has reached a depth of 611.67 meters and has so far intersected 81.93 metres of basement rocks with veining, alteration, and mineralization throughout which is consistent with a Laramide Cu-Mo porphyry system (Figure 1).
------
Buxton Resources appears to have struck copper and Molybdenum at Copper Wolf.​
 
Buxton shares have tumbled 44% to 14c after disappointing drilling at Copper Wolfe. The delay in graphite test results from Graphite Bull has reduced interest.
 
Still waiting for the Graphite Bull test results. Hopefully the 2nd hole at Copper Wolfe will continue and results will be better.
 
GRAPHITE BULL UPDATE – Downstream Processing Success
• Excellent results from ProGraphite on first bulk concentrate sample;
o Li-ion battery quality benchmarks exceeded by simple caustic
bake purification; 99.97% TGC easily achieved
