Taokas Wisdom Departs Utah Point with Second Element 25 Manganese Ore Shipment

• Second load of approximately 27,000 tonnes of high-quality manganese concentrate from Element 25’s Butcherbird Project departs Utah Point in Port Hedland.

• Ore for delivery to offtake partner OM Materials, a subsidiary of ASX-listed OM Holdings Ltd (ASX: OMH).

• Project team focus accelerating activity on next stages of multi-stage development strategy including Stage 2 expansion.

Element 25 Limited ( E25 or Company ) ( ASX:E25 ) is pleased to confirm another commercial shipment of manganese concentrate has now been loaded with the ship departing the Utah Point facility at Port Hedland on 30 August 2021. This is the second cargo to be shipped from the Company’s 100%-owned world class Butcherbird Manganese Project ( Project ) located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

The ore will be delivered to the Company’s offtake partner OM Materials (S) Pte Ltd ( OMS ), a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX listed company OM Holdings Limited ( ASX:OMH ) ( OMH )[1] .

COMPANY SNAPSHOT

Market Summary Board of Directors: ASX code: E25 Seamus Cornelius Chairman Shares on issue: 149M Justin Brown MD Share price: $2.06 John Ribbons NED

Element 25 Limited is developing the world class Butcherbird Manganese Project in Western Australia to produce high quality manganese concentrate and high purity manganese products for traditional and new energy markets.

The loading of approximately 27,000 tonnes of high quality manganese concentrate aboard the Handymax size vessel Taokas Wisdom is another important milestone in the Company’s journey to develop the Project as a globally significant producer of high quality manganese concentrate and high purity battery grade manganese sulphate ( HPSM ) in subsequent stages of project development.

Production continues at the Project however the Company will now move to larger shipments of 55-60Kt to take advantage of more competitive shipping tariffs at these larger cargo sizes.

In order to facilitate the change in cargo sizes, the Company has established a laydown area at Pippingarra in Port Hedland where the larger shipments will be established before secondary hauling into the Utah Point facility.

Project team focus

The Business Development team is focussing on the next stages of the multi-stage development strategy of the Project including a Stage 2 expansion of the concentrate business followed by a Stage 3 development to convert the concentrate material into high purity manganese sulphate monohydrate ( HPMSM ) for electric vehicle ( EV ) batteries to power the global transition away from fossil fuel powered mobility.

Manganese is emerging as an increasingly important ingredient for EV batteries, with potential supply constraints for nickel and cobalt forcing battery manufacturers to look to high manganese cathodes to produce the vast amount of cathode material required by the EV industry in coming years.[2]

The Project is ideally placed to feed this potential demand, with advanced flowsheet development work undertaken in 2019 and 2020 confirming a simple leach process for E25 ores which, when combined with offsets, will target the world’s first Zero Carbon Manganese[TM] for EV cathode manufacture[3] .

About the Butcherbird Manganese Project

The Butcherbird Manganese Project is a world-class manganese resource with current JORC resources of more than 263Mt of manganese ore[4] . In May 2020, the Company completed a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS)[5] with respect to developing the deposit to produce manganese concentrate for export to generate early cashflow with a modest capital requirement[6] . The outstanding economics and low capital hurdle for the first stage of development has allowed the Company to deliver first production from the Project in less than twelve months from the publication of the PFS.

The PFS also highlighted the Project’s potential for significant growth beyond the initial Stage 1 production volumes (the studies examined the potential for a 2X and 3X expansion to Stage 1 within 12 months of initial commissioning), and the Company expects to expedite the expansion of the Project.

In addition to the concentrate export business, the Company has completed extensive research & development and laboratory test work into the production of high purity manganese products including battery grade manganese sulphate ( HPMSM ) and High Purity Electrolytic Manganese Metal ( HPEMM ). The work has highlighted that the Butcherbird ores are highly amenable to an ambient temperature, atmospheric pressure leach process, resulting in a very efficient extraction of the manganese into solution, the key requirement for the cost effective and sustainable production of HPMSM and HPEMM.

The Project straddles the Great Northern Highway and the Goldfields Gas Pipeline, providing turnkey logistics and energy solutions. The Company plans to integrate renewable energy into the power solution over time to target a zero-carbon footprint for the Project, which is expected to also reduce energy costs. A cleaner, lower carbon flowsheet and high penetration renewable energy will place Butcherbird at the forefront of sustainable high purity manganese production.
