ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
23 January 2019
Butcherbird Resource Infill Drilling Programme Assays Received
Highlights
-
All assay results now received and compiled from the Butcherbird Resource infill drilling programme.
-
Results will underpin a resource upgrade in preparation for Pre-Feasibility Study and maiden Reserve.
-
Infill designed to target 25% Measured and 75% Indicated Resources over initial 20 year mine plan.
-
IHC Robbins appointed to complete the resource upgrade which is currently in progress.
-
Results in line with expectations in terms of geology, grades and thicknesses of mineralisation.
Element 25 Limited (“E25” or “Company”) is pleased to advise that assay results from resource infill drilling at the Company’s 100% owned Butcherbird High Purity Manganese Project have been received and compiled.
The resource infill drilling programme comprised 210 aircore holes for a total of 6,672m. The drilling was completed in late 2018. The results from the programme will form the basis of a revised mineral resource estimate which is expected to upgrade the planned starter pit area from Inferred and Indicated to Indicated and Measured categories as a basis for a maiden reserve, expected to be published with the PFS.
The assay results and geological logging of the drill holes both compare favourably with the existing drilling data in terms of geology as well as mineralised widths and grades of the ore zone, confirming the robustness of the current understanding of the deposit. Refer to Appendix 1 for a tabulation of the results.

About the Butcherbird High Purity Manganese Project
The Butcherbird High Purity Manganese Deposit is a world class manganese resource with current JORC resources in excess of 180Mt of manganese ore[1] . The Company has completed a positive scoping study with respect to developing the deposit to produce high purity manganese sulphate for lithium ion battery cathodes as well as Electrolytic Manganese Metal for use in certain specialty steels. A PFS is currently being completed and is expected to further confirm the commercial potential of the project.
The Butcherbird Project straddles the Great Northern Highway and the Goldfields Gas Pipeline providing turnkey logistics and energy solutions. The Company is also intending to integrate renewable energy into the power solution to minimise the carbon intensity of the project as well as further reducing energy costs.

Competent Persons Statement
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results, Exploration Targets, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves is based on information compiled by Mr Justin Brown who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. At the time that the Exploration Results, Exploration Targets, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves were compiled, Mr Brown was an employee of Element 25 Limited. Mr Brown is a geologist and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Brown consents to the inclusion of this information in the form and context in which it appears in this report
Please note with regard to exploration targets, the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.
The information in this report that relates to Mineral Resources is based on information announced to the ASX on 12 October 2017. Element 25 confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant market announcements, and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed.
