The latest announcement is out from Blencowe Resources Plc ( (GB:BRES) ).

Blencowe Resources has reported the final batch of assay results from 87 shallow holes at the Iyan deposit within its Orom-Cross graphite project, confirming thick, laterally continuous graphite mineralisation from surface and multiple intercepts over 30 metres. The data will underpin a maiden JORC resource estimate for Iyan in Q1 2026, expected to materially increase the overall Orom-Cross resource base.

The company plans to develop Iyan as a bulk blending deposit, using its combination of bulk tonnage and higher-grade zones to optimise mine planning and support efficient, low-strip mining. Management says the results strengthen the case for a large-scale, long-life development and bolster ongoing funding and offtake discussions, while pending assays from the nearby Beehive deposit are anticipated to deliver further resource growth and reinforce Orom-Cross as a multi-deposit graphite hub.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:BRES) stock is a Hold with a £8.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Blencowe Resources Plc stock, see the GB:BRES Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:BRES Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:BRES is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (no revenue, recurring losses, and worsening cash burn in 2025). Technicals provide a meaningful offset with a clear uptrend (price above key moving averages) and positive momentum (MACD>0, RSI near 59). Valuation remains unattractive/unclear due to negative earnings and no dividend yield data.
