1 ASX Announcement 13 February 2023

Manganese is recognised as a critical mineral by the Office of the Chief Economist (Australian Government Department of Industry, Innovation and Science). Further, a White House document (June 2021) states that manganese use in battery cathodes may result in the metals preferred element emergence in next generation battery cells, due to its ‘relative saftey’ and ‘having by far the most stability’.

Jeremy Bower CEO commented:

“Whilst primarily used in the steel industry as an alloying agent to improve hardness, strength and resitence to corrosion, the Electric Vehicle revolution is here and manganese is a key component in the production of lithium-ion batteries. The Company remains entirely focused on our Morrissey Hill lithium project, but it’s important that we continue to consolidate our tenure in highly prospective areas, with a focus on the EV market. This low cost acquisition is right in between some big players in Hastings and FMG and we are very interested in manganese generally and the role it will play over the coming years.”
