AE Fuels Corporation has been granted exploration licence E46/1580, adding 34.95 km² to its South Woodie Woodie Manganese Project in Western Australia. The new tenure is contiguous with existing prospect areas and aims to test the broader scale of the manganese system near the Woodie Woodie mine.
Union Power Metals has spudded the first hole of a 25-hole, 1,000-metre maiden drill program at the Michalová manganese project in Slovakia. The program aims to verify historical geological data and collect material for metallurgical testing to evaluate the potential for battery-grade manganese production.
AE Fuels Corporation has joined the U.S. Defense Industrial Base Consortium to advance its critical minerals strategy focused on manganese and fluorspar. The company also highlighted its South Woodie Woodie manganese project in Western Australia, which holds an Inferred NI 43-101 resource of 11.3 Mt at 15.0% Mn, and reported successful pilot-scale manganese extraction rates of 95-99%.
AE Fuels has defined 44 priority RC drill targets at the South Woodie Woodie Manganese Project in Western Australia following a gravity survey. The program aims to test for resource expansion at the Pearana and Pothole prospects, which lie outside the current 11.3 Mt Inferred resource. Additionally, the company received conditional TSXV acceptance for a $250,000 convertible loan financing.
Electric Metals (USA) Limited announced that CEO Brian Savage will present at the Clean Energy & Metals Virtual Investor Conference on August 27, 2026. The company highlighted key metrics for its North Star Manganese Project, including a NI 43-101 resource and Preliminary Economic Assessment results.
Electric Metals reported positive results from a simulated ore sorting assessment at the Emily Manganese Deposit. The simulation showed that a drill core dataset averaging 8.2% Mn could be upgraded to 17.5% Mn while recovering 92% of the manganese and rejecting 57% of the material.
Euro Manganese has filed its NI 43-101 and JORC technical reports for the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) of the Chvaletice Manganese Project in the Czech Republic. The PEA base case reports a post-tax NPV of US$492 million and a post-tax IRR of 13.8% based on an HPMSM price of US$2,888/t.
