Butcherbird receives final approval

Element 25 (ASX: E25) has received a formal works approval from the WA Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) for the Butcherbird expansion project.
The project is now fully approved under WA Regulatory Framework to construct a 1.1mpta manganese concentrate production operation.
Butcherbird manganese will be the primary feedstock for E25’s planned battery grade, high purity manganese sulphide monohydrate (HPMSM) processing facility in Louisiana, USA.
E25 will also sell Butcherbird manganese concentrate product to customers in the manganese alloy and steel industries.
All other required approvals and access agreements are in place and established from Butcherbird’s Stage 1 pilot operations including water abstraction, heritage clearances, Native Title and pastoral agreements.
