Butcherbird Pre-Commissioning Activities Commenced

• Pre-commissioning activities have commenced at the Butcherbird mine site.

• Electrical systems and instrument loop checking underway.

• Power station installation and power up scheduled for later this week.

• First ore processing planned for the second half of March 2021.

Element 25 Limited ( E25 or Company ) ( ASX:E25 ) is pleased to confirm that the delivery of the first stage of a planned multi-stage development at the Company’s 100% owned world class Butcherbird Project ( Project ) continues with completion on track and in line with the original target of Quarter 1, 2021.

Pre-commissioning activities have commenced on schedule with electrical systems and instrument loop checking underway utilising temporary power. Sequential rotational checking of drives is expected to commence today. The power station is due to arrive at site today, with installation and power up scheduled for later in the week.

This is the first stage of a multi-stage development strategy for the Project, which will be expanded to produce 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.[1]

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[2] .

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[3] . The Company completed a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) with respect to developing the deposit to produce manganese concentrate for export to generate early cashflow with a modest capital requirement[4] . The outstanding economics and low capital hurdle of less than A$17 million for the first stage of development will allow the Company to develop the project in a relatively short timeframe. The delivery of this first stage of production is fully funded and already underway.

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 once Stage 1 is fully operational. 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.
