【Ferro-alloys.com】West Australian manganese producer Element 25 will move directly on to a definitive feasibility study on the proposed construction of a high-purity manganese sulphate monohydrate plant to process ore from its Butcherbird project in the Pilbara region.

E25 says its scoping study demonstrated modest start-up capital of $US150M for a 20-year, low operating cost opportunity to expand into downstream processing of ore.One of the issues for the DFS will be the siting of the plant, assumed to be in a SE Asian industrial park. Completion is expected in H2 2022.
