The larger, higher-confidence inventory supports potential economies of scale, stronger offtake/financing leverage and a more defensible regional position in Western Australia manganese.
Metallurgical Testwork Indicates Direct-shipping-ore (DSO) PotentialTestwork demonstrating DSO-quality material via simple crush/screen and HLS paths signals lower processing complexity. DSO capability can shorten time-to-cash, reduce capex and opex requirements, and improve project economics—structural advantages for developing low-strip, low-cost mining options.
