Manganese producer Element 25 Limited has tabled a solid set of financials following a recent scoping study for the construction and operation of its planned high purity manganese sulphate monohydrate plant. The financial metrics also showed a solid 20-year life for its Butcherbird manganese project in WA that is highly leveraged towards the emerging electric vehicle industry.

Element 25 has roared back to life with record daily production after repair and modification works of the processing plant were completed at its Butcherbird manganese project in WA. The processing plant modifications, which were undertaken following a shaft failure late last year, delivered improved production volumes averaging 934 tonnes per day since kicking the plant back into action on 23 December 2021.

Manganese producer, Element 25 says a new shipping strategy will deliver a freight tariff reduction of 45 per cent from peak tariff rates for an upcoming shipment of manganese concentrate sourced from its Butcherbird mine in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The company will now transport its manganese concentrate in a larger capacity Supramax vessel to lower the shipping costs.

Manganese producer, Element 25 has delivered multiple breakthroughs in its efforts to tap into the flourishing lithium-ion battery industry by producing a high-purity manganese product from its Butcherbird mine in WA. Optimisation test work on a flowsheet designed to convert manganese concentrate into battery-grade manganese material has reportedly reduced reagent consumption and residue production in the conversion process. The outcome could potentially slash operational and capitals costs of the venture.

Manganese producer, Element 25 has scored an eight-year “innovation patent” for its cutting-edge extraction technology used to separate manganese from concentrate produced at its 100 per cent owned Butcherbird mining and beneficiation operation north of Meekatharra in WA. The company is looking to manufacture a high-purity manganese sulphate monohydrate product for use in the thriving lithium-ion battery industry.

ASX-listed Element 25's second shipload of about 27,000 tonnes of manganese concentrate produced at its Butcherbird operation in WA's southern Pilbara region has recently departed Port Hedland, only a handful of weeks after the inaugural export shipment of about 27,000 tonnes set sail. The Perth-based company says the ore aboard a Handymax-size vessel will be delivered to its offtake partner OM Materials' smelter in China.

Element 25 has completed its ramp up to Stage 1 production levels at the company's flagship Butcherbird manganese mining operation in Western Australia. The company says the mine has now achieved a “steady state” of manganese output and is looking to manufacture a high-purity manganese sulphate monohydrate product for use in the burgeoning lithium-ion battery market.

A new mine in WA and aspiring producers are contributing to rising Australian manganese output.

Element 25's maiden shipment of manganese concentrate from its Butcherbird operation in WA has left Port Hedland, marking a stunning development pathway to production time frame of a little over a year from an initial PFS to exporting first commercial ore. The company's first load of about 27,000 tonnes of manganese concentrate aboard a Handymax-size vessel departed Utah Point bulk handling facility yesterday.

ASX-listed WA manganese producer Element 25 has dispatched the first shipment of manganese concentrate from its new Butcherbird open-pit mining and beneficiation operation about 130km south of Newman in WA's southern Pilbara region. The Perth-based company says Pilbara-based AK Evans Group last week kicked off ore haulage from Butcherbird to Utah Point in Port Hedland in readiness for loading and export.

Element 25 has sewn up a road transport deal with the Pilbara-based AK Evans Group that will see the bulk haulage and construction company truck manganese concentrate from the manganese producer's new Butcherbird mine to Utah Point in Port Hedland for export. The two parties have signed a letter of intent and are in the process of finalising a long-term commercial arrangement.

WA manganese producer, Element 25 has sold the first parcel of manganese concentrate from its new Butcherbird mining and beneficiation operation in the Pilbara to offtake partner OM Materials, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASX-listed, Singapore-based vertically integrated manganese and ferroalloy group OM Holdings Ltd.

Commissioning activities have been “progressing well”, according to the company, and a saleable manganese concentrate has now been produced.

Element 25 has wasted no time in laying the foundations for a “stage two” development at its new Butcherbird manganese mining and beneficiation operation in WA. The Perth-based company has just squared away a capital raise worth $35.5 million that it says will largely go towards a planned expansion of Butcherbird's annual manganese concentrate output from about 365,000 tonnes to more than one million tonnes a year.

Element 25 has sought funding to expand manganese production at its Butcherbird Project located south of Newman.

ASX-listed Element 25 says pre-commissioning activities are under way at the mine site of its brand new, world class Butcherbird manganese project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia where first ore is due to hit the haul road in just a couple of weeks from now. Electrical systems and instrument loops are being checked ahead of hook-up to its own power station later this week.

Element 25 says it will be processing manganese ore by the back end of next month at its new Butcherbird manganese project in the Pilbara. The company says it will dry commission the plant in the first half of March and achieve wet commissioning and start processing ore by the end of the month, representing a significant milestone in the history of the company.

Element 25 has bounded over the final hurdle in its bid to become an international manganese concentrate producer, this week locking down a vital groundwater allocation from the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation at its Butcherbird Project in Western Australia's southern Pilbara region. The allocation was the final domino to fall in the approvals process and the company says the project is now shovel ready.

Okapi Resources is onto extensive gold anomalism at its Lake Johnson project east of Norseman in WA. Soil sampling across the company's Mt Day gold prospect has thrown up three priority gold targets, the largest of which covers close to 2,000 metres of strike. Management is now planning further sampling across the targets as it looks to drill test them in the coming months.

ASX-listed manganese producer in waiting, Element 25 has nailed a binding take-or-pay offtake agreement with OM Materials covering the first five years of projected manganese ore production at Element's developing Butcherbird mine about 130 kilometres south of Newman in WA's southern Pilbara.
