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 delivered multiple breakthroughs in its efforts to tap into the flourishing lithium-ion battery industry by producing a high-purity manganese sulphate monohydrate product, or “HPMSM” from its Butcherbird mine in Western Australia.
Optimisation test work on a flowsheet designed to convert manganese concentrate from the mine into HPMSM has reportedly reduced reagent consumption and waste production. The outcome could potentially result in reduced operational and capitals costs for the venture, according to the company.
Element 25 has a multi-stage strategy in place to unravel the full value of its Butcherbird project where a 263 million tonne resource grading more than 10 per cent manganese oxide has been defined.
Butcherbird recently achieved a ‘steady state’ of manganese output, with the first two shipments of manganese concentrate from the mine also recently shipped to a smelter in China owned by Element 25’s offtake partner.
