Southern Hemisphere Mining Limited has released plans to sustainably develop the 100% owned Los Pumas Manganese Project into a globally significant reliable source of Manganese to meet the demand and rapid growth in the EV and EV battery metals industries.

A key part of sustainably developing the Los Pumas Manganese deposit is the company's carbon neutrality plan designing the project to operate with minimum greenhouse emissions by implementing energy saving initiatives coupled with offsetting any unavoidable emissions.

The company is working on initiatives seeking alternative energy and raw material sources where possible and viable to adopt green energy practices.

High Purity Manganese Sulphate (HPMSM)

The company has engaged industry experts to carry out a mineralogy review to assess the process flowsheet options to produce HPMSM. Early work shows the DMS product is low in impurities with no identified technical impediments to producing HPMSM. There may be potential to benefit from precipitating potassium from the Cryptomelane dominant ore as Sulphate of Potash (SOP).

Commodity Traders and EV Battery Manufacturers

The company is actively seeking and engaging with commodity traders, financiers, EV manufacturers and EV battery manufacturers to advance the Los Pumas Manganese Project with the aim to supply a carbon-neutral battery cathode manganese component.
