• Port Access Agreement for Utah Point facility executed.

• First shipment planned for June 2021.

Element 25 Limited ( E25 or Company ) (ASX:E25) is pleased to confirm the execution of a Multi User Access Agreement ( Agreement ) with the Pilbara Port Authority. The Agreement provides for the use of the Port Hedland Utah Point facility for the bulk export of manganese from the Company’s 100% owned production facility at the Butcherbird Project ( Project ).

Utah Point is a well regarded multi-user bulk handling and loading facility located at Utah Point in Port Hedland, Western Australia.

The terms of the agreement are commercial in confidence however they are in line with the Pilbara Port Authority’s normal operating terms and satisfy the Company’s capacity requirement for the first stage of operations up to 390Ktpa.

E25 Managing Director Mr Justin Brown commented, “ This is another important milestone on the way to our first sale of manganese concentrate, and we are excited to be closing in on our first shipment of Butcherbird’s material to our offtake partners .”

About the Butcherbird Manganese Project

The Butcherbird Manganese Project is a world class manganese resource with current JORC resources in excess of 263 Mt of manganese ore[1] . The Company completed a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS)[2] with respect to developing the deposit to produce manganese concentrate for export to generate early cashflow with a modest capital requirement[3] . The outstanding economics and low capital hurdle of less than A$17 million 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 has the 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.

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.[4]

The Project is ideally placed to feed this potential demand, with advanced flowsheet development work undertaken in 2019 and 2020 confirming a simple, unique, ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure leach process for E25 ores which, when combined with offsets, will target the world’s first Zero Carbon Manganese[TM] for EV cathode manufacture[5] .

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.
