Euro Manganese Announces Successful Completion of Demonstration Plant Continuous Operation Program
Euro Manganese Inc. is pleased to announce the on-site Demonstration Plant successfully completed a 5-day continuous operation program for the production of high-purity electrolytic manganese metal at the Company’s Chvaletice Manganese Project in the Czech Republic. The Demonstration Plant achieved key technical targets which form part of the necessary conditions for accessing the next draw-down from the Orion financing package announced on November 28, 2023.
From October 7 to October 12, 2024, the qualified solution preparation and electrowinning module undertook a 24-hour-a-day, 5-day continuous operation program, with a target of producing a minimum of 132 kg HPEMM, with no more than 8 hours stoppage time. The purification step was run on batch basis to provide sufficient feedstock.
The Demonstration Plant operated as-designed and without interruption, achieving 100% reliability over the 5-day program (i.e. no stoppage time). Overall, 172 kg of HPEMM was produced, exceeding target production by over 30%.
