Project portfolio and exploration success
Portfolio includes the Wandanya Project (high-grade Mn and Fe) and the Balfour Manganese Field (BMF), with six manganese discoveries since 2021.
BMF holds the largest contained manganese mineral resources in WA, totaling 315Mt @ 10.5% Mn, with 87% in Measured & Indicated categories.
Positive scoping studies completed for Flanagan Bore, KR1, and KR2 deposits, with multiple development options and bulk tonnage potential.
Exploration at Wandanya has defined over 3km of strike, with mineralization open in multiple directions and ongoing drilling to unlock further potential.
Manganese market fundamentals
Manganese is essential for steel production (90% of demand) and critical for clean energy transition, especially in EV battery chemistries.
Current 44% Mn price is about 2x the value of iron ore per tonne, trading at A$316/t, with global supply dominated by a few major producers.
