Boron One Holdings Inc. Completes This Year’s
Jarandol Basin Exploration Program
Highlights:
Exploration program completed with Annual Report submitted to Ministry of Mining.
May 12, 2025
Victoria, BC, Canada [Accesswire]
Boron One Holdings Inc. (“Boron One” or the “Company”) [TSXV: BONE], a company
dedicated to the decarbonization of Planet Earth through the responsible utilization of its
boron assets, is pleased to report that its wholly owned subsidiary, Balkan Gold d.o.o. , has
completed this year’s geological exploration program of borates and accompanying raw
minerals on its Jarandol Basin License area in Serbia . The exploration results have been
compiled into a requisite Annual Report and submitted to the Ministry of Mining.
The goals of Balkan Gold’s current three-year project of applied geological exploration of
borates and related mineral resources in the Jarandol Basin (to the west and north of the
Company’s Piskanja borate deposit) are:
✓ Definition and separation of parts of the sedimentation basin that are potential
carriers of genetically related raw materials (borates, magnesite, zeolites, cement
marls, bentonites, etc.);
✓ A detailed look at the mineralization of borates in the prospective area ( first
discovered by the Company in 2015), and;
✓ The identification of new borate mineralization in the central and western part of the
exploration area.
Balkan Gold conducted the following exploration as part of this first exploration year (2024-
25), in preparation for future drilling programs:
✓ Reambulation of the geological map 1:10,000 with the prospection of non -metallic
mineral raw materials within the contour of the approved exploration area.
✓ With a total of 60 observation points (outcrops, blocks or boulders along the covered
terrain), 56 samples were collected for petrological tests and 56 samples for chemical
analyses. The samples were collected from andesite, tuffs, volcanoclastites,
sandstones, carbonates, conglomerates and clastite.
✓ The Department of Petrology and Geochemistry of the Faculty of Mining and Geology
in Belgrade was selected for petrology tests (and additional XRD and TG/DT analyses),

while ALS (Tasmania) laboratory was selected for chemical testing of multi-elements
and oxides (utilizing ME-MS41 & ME_XRF26 methods).
“We are pleased by this recent progress,” said Tim Daniels, President of Boron One. “Based
on the results we achieved in our past exploration work, along with the fact that we have
explored much less than ten percent of the basin at this point, we believe the Jarandol Basin
has good potential to add to the known boron resources in the area. We look forward to
continuing to develop the basin along with our flagship Piskanja Project located adjacent.”
Previous exploration by the Company has shown that the Jarandol Basin has the potential to
host extensions to the Company’s Piskanja boron deposit and to the Pobrdje boron mine
(located 2.5 km away on the other extremity of the basin), as both of these deposits remain
unbounded towards the center of the basin. In addition, the basin holds the potential to host
additional, unrelated boron deposits. In a previous drill program conducted by Boron One,
at a location in the basin approximately midway between the Piskanja and Pobrdje deposits,
6 exploratory drill holes returned occurrences of borates. Three of the six drill holes
intersected occurrences of borates that exceed the Company’s economic criteria for grade
and thickness. Two of the six drill holes intersected one boron layer of potential economic
grade and thickness, while a third drill hole intersected two distinct prospective boron layers.
Mineralized intervals included one intersection of 1.88 meters averaging 41.33% B2O3, a
second intersection of 1.3 meters averaging 41.88% B2O3, and a third intersection of 1.75
meters averaging 39.71% B2O3 (as previously reported by the Company in a news release
on December 22, 2015).

About the Jarandol Basin Project
The Jarandol Exploration License (received in April of 2024 and valid for 3 years) covers 21.03
km2, and is extendable up to a total of 8 years, subject to Serbian mining regulations. The
Jarandol Basin License contains all the land within the basin which is prospective for boron,
including the territory directly adjacent to, and in between, the Company’s 100% owned
Piskanja Boron Project on the eastern edge of the basin, and the government owned Pobrdje
Boron Mine, located 2.5 km away from Piskanja on the opposite edge of the basin.
The Jarandol Basin is a Miocene age tertiary deposit located within the Vardar Belt of
Neogene lacustrine deposits of evaporates. The Vardar Belt contains the world’s richest
borate deposits, including those found in Turkey, which are of similar genesis to the Serbia
borate deposits.
The Jarandol Basin is a well -known historical mining district in southern Serbia which hosts
two known boron deposits, an operating coal mine, and a (now depleted) magnesite mine.
The Basin hosts excellent infrastructure for mining (having hosted mining operations
continuously for more than 100 years) including paved roads, rail, power, experienced

miners, and sufficient support industries, located 250 km south of Belgrade by all season,
paved roads.
