Euro Manganese Inc. (TSX-V and ASX: EMN; OTCQB: EUMNF) has successfully completed a 5-day continuous operation program at its Chvaletice Manganese Project's Demonstration Plant in the Czech Republic. The plant, which includes six main process stages, achieved key technical targets for producing high-purity electrolytic manganese metal (HPEMM).

The continuous operation ran from October 7 to October 12, 2024, with a target of producing at least 132 kg of HPEMM. The plant exceeded expectations, producing 172 kg of HPEMM with 100% reliability and no stoppage time. This achievement is important for accessing the next draw-down from the Orion financing package announced in November 2023.

The Demonstration Plant's success positions Euro Manganese as the only new high-purity manganese project outside China with a fully operational facility, potentially benefiting from the growing demand for high-purity manganese in battery production.
