Blencowe Resources Plc (LSE:BRES) has completed a Definitive Feasibility Study for its Orom-Cross graphite project in Uganda, revealing robust economics with a Net Present Value of US$1.087 billion and an Internal Rate of Return of 96%. The DFS outlines a staged development plan, beginning with a smaller-scale operation targeted for 2027 before ramping up to larger production phases funded through internal cash flow. This phased approach positions Orom-Cross as a strategically important source of high-purity graphite outside China, aligning with rapidly increasing global demand for battery-grade materials.
Despite this progress, Blencowe Resources continues to grapple with substantial financial strain. With no current revenues, ongoing losses, and negative cash flow, its financial metrics weigh heavily on the overall outlook. Technical indicators point to a bearish trend, though recent funding initiatives and strategic partnerships offer some longer-term promise. Nonetheless, near-term financial and operational hurdles dominate the assessment.
