Element 25 produces manganese concentrate at WA Butcherbird Manganese Project

Element 25 Ltd (ASX:E25) has produced a commercial-grade lump product through simple beneficiation after undertaking a bulk sample test program initiated in December 2019 at the Butcherbird Manganese Project near Newman in Western Australia.

Managing director Justin Brown said: "The fact that the project might now have a low capital start up concentrate export stage to generate early cashflow could be a game changer.

"With existing manganese mines in Australia past their peak and in decline, the Butcherbird Project has the potential to be a key player in Australian manganese production.

"This is a very exciting development."
