Full summary
Firebird Metals Limited has successfully produced the first 99.999% ('5N') ultra-high-purity manganese sulphate using an in-line impurity extractant process. This achievement positions Firebird as the sole Western company to have manufactured such high-purity manganese sulphate. The technology is fluoride-free, supports continuous, automated operation, and can process a variety of feedstocks. The product is priced at a 33% premium over standard grades due to its scarcity. The company has also initiated a technical program at its Hunan Pilot Plant to process Australian ore from the Oakover Manganese Project, preparing for the commissioning of the Australian Demonstration Plant in Perth in 2027.
