Element 25 is advancing its Butcherbird Expansion Project in Western Australia, aiming to lift manganese concentrate output to 1.1 million tonnes per year, backed by an 18-plus-year ore reserve.

The company has shortlisted bidders for key construction, mining and site services contracts, with awards expected between the first and second quarters of 2026, and is targeting mechanical completion and commissioning of the expansion in the first quarter of 2027. Financing is progressing with a previously approved AU$50 million NAIF debt facility and ongoing work with consultancy SLR to complete due diligence and secure remaining funding, underscoring growing project certainty for stakeholders.
