Euro Manganese has reached a significant milestone with the successful commissioning of its high purity manganese demonstration plant at the Chvaletice manganese project in the Czech Republic. This achievement has been confirmed by two independent external laboratories, which validated that the samples of high purity manganese sulphate monohydrate (HPMSM) produced at the plant meet the DP design target specifications with minimal impurities.
The completion of commissioning allows Euro Manganese to start producing bulk, multi-tonne finished product samples of HPMSM and/or high purity electrolytic manganese metal (HPEMM) for potential customers’ supply chain qualification. This will streamline the process and reduce the time needed to test products from the commercial plant in the future.
The demonstration plant has the capacity to produce the equivalent of approximately 33kg of HPEMM per day, which can then be converted into around 100kg per day of HPMSM. Euro Manganese is positioned as a key player in the battery materials industry, focusing on supplying high purity manganese for the electric vehicle sector.
Furthermore, the company is exploring the production of battery-grade manganese products in Becancour, Quebec, Canada. The Chvaletice project stands out as it reprocesses old mine tailings and serves as a vital resource of manganese in the European Union. This development marks a significant step forward for Euro Manganese’s commitment to sustainable and high-quality battery materials production.
