Executive Summary

  • Giyani Metals Corp. successfully produced high‑purity manganese sulphate monohydrate (HPMSM) at its demonstration plant in Johannesburg, marking the first commercial‑scale output of this battery‑grade product.
  • The achievement validates the company’s dual‑product capability (HPMSM and high‑purity manganese oxide, HPMO) and de‑risks the process flow sheet for the upcoming full‑scale commercial plant in Botswana.
  • The company will now commence HPMSM offtaker qualification trials and complete a NI 43‑101‑compliant definitive feasibility study (DFS) by the end of Q1 2026.

Key Details

  • Production Milestone: First batch of high‑purity manganese sulphate monohydrate (HPMSM) produced at the demo plant in September 2025.
  • Dual‑Product Capability: Follows earlier successful production of high‑purity manganese oxide (HPMO) in Q1 2025, demonstrating ability to supply two battery‑grade manganese products.
  • Offtaker Qualification: HPMSM qualification trials with potential customers will commence immediately; HPMO qualification already underway.
  • Process Development: Demo plant provided critical data that derisked and optimized the process flow sheet for the planned commercial plant in Botswana (K.Hill project).
  • Feasibility Study: Definitive feasibility study (DFS) to NI 43‑101 standards remains on track for completion by end of Q1 2026.
  • Market Outlook: Anticipated surge in demand for battery‑grade manganese from 2028 onward, driven by next‑generation EV and energy‑storage battery chemistries requiring higher manganese content.
  • Strategic Positioning: Giyani’s assets are located in a supportive jurisdiction, aligning project timelines with expected market growth.
