Euro Manganese reports strong demand for Chvaletice plant samples

*

High grade manganese specialist Euro Manganese [TSXV:EMN] has reported that six companies from across the EV battery value chain and the speciality alloy industry have requested Demonstration Plant samples as they invest in the qualification process of Euro Manganese’s high-purity manganese products.

On-spec production of high-purity electrolytic manganese metal and high-purity manganese sulphate monohydrate are expected in the first quarter, 2023, the company said. Euro Manganese will then commence deliveries of Demonstration Plant samples to customers.

Euro Manganese also stated that a further six companies, including European and North American automotive OEMs, battery manufacturers, and cathode manufacturers, who are currently testing Pilot Plant samples, are expected to request Demonstration Plant samples as part of their strategy to move to local supply chains with full traceability and the highest sustainability standards.

“We are in advanced discussions on off-take arrangements, which are not conditional on these sample qualification tests being completed,” the company said in a statement this week.

Euro Manganese is a battery materials company focused on becoming a leading, competitive, and environmentally superior producer of high-purity manganese for the electric vehicle (EV) industry and other high-technology applications. It is advancing development of the Chvaletice Manganese Project in the Czech Republic, which is a unique waste-to-value recycling and remediation opportunity involving reprocessing old tailings from a decommissioned mine.

Chvaletice plant now being commissioned

Euro Manganese reported that it was now commissioning its Demonstration Plant at the Chvaletice site. After arrival at site in early September, the Demonstration Plant modules were unpacked and placed in position within two fully refurbished buildings. Inspection and installation, including wiring and power connections, piping, and utilities connection is now substantially complete. An emission scrubbing unit, manufactured in Europe, has also been installed. Readers can access a video of the plant being installed here.

Commissioning of the Demonstration Plant will occur on a module-by-module basis, including cold, hot and performance testing. The first module commenced commissioning this week.

“With the arrival of the Demonstration Plant at site, the team at Chvaletice has worked hard to install the modules and connect them to utilities,” explained Dr Matthew James, President and CEO of Euro Manganese. “This week is a major milestone with commissioning of the first module. We eagerly look forward to delivering samples from the Demonstration Plant to customers so they may continue their supply chain qualification of Chvaletice’s high purity manganese products.”
