Retraction Statement - Kallak
Beowulf (AIM: BEM; Spotlight: BEO), the mineral exploration and development company, through its subsidiary Jokkmokk Iron Mines AB operates the Kallak Project, for which Jokkmokk Iron holds the exploitation licence. The Mineral Resources of the deposits have been classified according to the PERC Standards 2017, by Howard Baker (FAusIMM(CP)) an independent Competent Person. As was reported by the Company via RNS on 25 May 2021, the total Measured and Indicated resource, as prepared by Baker Geological Services ("BGS"), is 132 million tonnes ("Mt") grading 28.3 per cent iron ("Fe"), with an Inferred Mineral Resource of 39 Mt grading 27.1 per cent Fe.
However, contrary to the PERC Standards and erroneously, the Company aggregated a number of areas of mineralisation and potential mineralisation which should be reported separately informing that the Kallak Project area is "estimated to contain 389 million tonnes of iron mineralisation", in an RNS Reach press release (dated 22 February 2023), and also at a presentation delivered at the Mining Journal Select conference (held in London on 28 March 2023). As this figure is not compliant with the PERC Standard it is erroneously reported and should be disregarded. The Company wishes to emphasise that no new studies have been carried out and that this explanatory communication should be seen as a clarification according to industry standards.
