Trek Metals confirmed a significant shallow, high-grade manganese discovery at the Kuro Prospect within the Christmas Creek Project via maiden RC drilling. The company also secured an exclusive option to acquire the Matrix Manganese Project in Arizona, USA.
Firebird Metals has successfully produced its first 99.999% (5N) ultra-high-purity manganese sulphate at its Hunan Pilot Plant. This milestone demonstrates the capability of their proprietary fluoride-free technology and paves the way for the commissioning of their Australian Demonstration Plant in 2027.
Accelerate Resources Limited has reported high-grade manganese rock chip results, up to 59.6% Mn, from the Faris and newly identified Sea Turtle prospects within its Woodie Woodie North Manganese Project in Western Australia. These results confirm the prospectivity of an underexplored 12km mineralised corridor, with low iron impurities noted at Faris. The company plans to commence discovery drilling at Gingarrigan and further define targets at Faris and Sea Turtle, building on historical drill intercepts and a previously reported Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate.
Firebird Metals Limited has announced the key dates for its 2026 Annual General Meeting, scheduled for 25 November 2026. The announcement also includes a summary of the company's manganese resource portfolio and project economics.
Accelerate Resources Limited has completed a metallurgical diamond drilling program at its Area 42 Manganese deposits, intersecting thick zones of visual manganese mineralization in all three holes, including a 72-meter interval in WNDD003. The large-diameter core will be used for metallurgical testwork to define product specifications and processing requirements, representing a key step in the project's development pathway. However, no assay results are available, and the visual observations do not provide information on manganese grade or impurities.
Black Canyon has announced a maiden mineral resource at its Wandanya project in Western Australia, comprising 23.6Mt of manganese at 25.8% Mn and 12.5Mt of iron at 54.9% Fe. The manganese resource is high-confidence, with over 90% in the Measured and Indicated categories, supporting potential direct shipment ore (DSO) pathways.
Black Canyon Limited has announced a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Wandanya Manganese and Iron Deposit in Western Australia. The resource comprises 23.6Mt at 25.8% Mn and 12.5Mt at 54.9% Fe, with over 90% of the manganese resource classified as Measured and Indicated.
Black Canyon Limited has announced a maiden JORC 2012 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for its Wandanya Project, totaling 23.6 Mt at 25.8% Mn and 12.5 Mt at 54.9% Fe. The estimate demonstrates high confidence, with over 90% of the manganese resource and 100% of the iron resource classified as Measured and Indicated. Initial metallurgical testwork indicates strong potential for high-quality beneficiated products and Direct Ship Ore (DSO) for both commodities, with a Scoping Study currently underway.
Firebird Metals Limited's Annual Report for FY2026 highlights a strategic shift towards advanced manganese processing and battery materials technology, marked by the establishment of the Australian Demonstration Plant (ADP) and securing a A$2.0 million ARENA grant. The company reported positive independent customer testing results for high-purity manganese sulphate and LMR cathode material, alongside strengthening its intellectual property portfolio. Despite an operating loss of $3.44 million, a $6.0 million capital raise contributed to an increase in net assets to $13.0 million, though the auditor noted a material uncertainty regarding going concern. The mineral resource estimates for Oakover and Hill 616 projects remain unchanged from prior years.
Firebird Metals has successfully prepared the first manganese feedstock from the Oakover Manganese Project for its Australian Demonstration Plant (ADP). The feedstock has been sent to a facility in China for technical testing ahead of the ADP's scheduled commissioning in Q4 2026.
