Euro Manganese Inc. (ASX: $EMN) announced its financial results for the third fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024. The company reported successful commissioning of its high-purity manganese Demonstration Plant at the Chvaletice Manganese Project in the Czech Republic. Additionally, Euro Manganese disclosed key developments, including the application for Strategic Project status with the EU Critical Raw Materials Act and engagement with CzechInvest for potential government investment incentives.
We made continued progress in the third quarter on a number of fronts. With the successful commissioning of our high-purity manganese Demonstration Plant at the Chvaletice Project, we are now capable of producing on-spec bulk samples for customers' supply chain qualifications. This is crucial for our ongoing offtake negotiations. The application for Strategic Project status with the EU Critical Raw Materials Act and engagement with Czech Invest help to position the Company for advantageous funding and financial opportunities which would de-risk the financing and development of the Chvaletice Project. Additionally, a successful EU ICRMA Strategic Project application would provide financial and other support from a highly influential network of technology and funding partners. As we continue discussions with potential offtake clients, we are confident in our unique position as the only manganese resource in the EU, poised to supply critical raw materials for the energy transition.
