This detailed, 133-page Technical Report summarizes all exploration work on the property including historical and recent diamond drilling by Manganese X, that forms the basis of the MRE and makes recommendations for further exploration and development work on the Project.
Manganese X retained Mercator to complete the MRE for the Project located in
Within the Technical Report, Mercator recommends preparation of a Pre-Feasibility Study for the Battery Hill project upon receipt of a positive economic evaluation from the Preliminary Economic Assessment ('PEA') currently in progress.
Highlights
Battery Hill project mineral resource estimate consists of 34.86 million tonnes of Measured and Indicated mineral resources grading 6.42% Mn, plus an additional 25.91 million tonnes of Inferred mineral resources grading 6.66% Mn utilizing a 2.5% Mn cut-off grade that reflects total operating costs having 'reasonable prospects for economic extraction.'
Sensitivity analysis of the Battery Hill deposit to cut-off grade indicates 12.25 million tonnes of Measured and Indicated mineral resources at 8.77% Mn and 10.61 million tonnes of Inferred mineral resources grading 9.05% Mn utilizing a cut-off grade of 7% Mn.
The PEA will evaluate the economic and commercial viability of the Project to produce premium ultrahigh-purity battery-grade manganese products for the burgeoning North American electric vehicle and energy storage sectors.
Project economics will be maximized by optimizing production schedules and starter pit outlines towards higher grade material such as indicated above.
The very large mineral resource base underlines the Project's potential to sustain long term production.
