TSX-V-listed Giyani Metals, which is developing the K. Hill battery-grade manganese project in Botswana, has announced the successful production of high-purity manganese oxide (HPMO) at its demonstration (demo) plant in Johannesburg. The production of HPMO, which serves as a precursor for high-purity manganese sulphate monohydrate (HPMSM), marks a significant development in the company’s efforts to capitalise on the rapidly growing market for electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage system (ESS) batteries.
