The Company has sufficient funding to deliver certain key milestones
Dr. Matthew James, President and CEO of Euro Manganese, commented:
“Our second quarter was marked by several important events for the progress of the Chvaletice Project. In March we received final approval of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment from the Czech Ministry of the Environment. An important milestone in licensing and design, this is the main access license from which subsequent licenses can follow in a more procedural manner. We are also moving towards undervaluation status with the European Investment Bank, the next phase of the debt financing process. The EIB financing would complement a broader financing package to support the development of our high-purity battery manganese plant in the Czech Republic. We also welcomed the European Union’s final approval of the Critical Raw Materials Act and the final rules of the US Inflation Reduction Act. Both monumental sets of regulations have extremely positive implications for high-purity manganese and position Euro Manganese’s Chvaletice Project as the only European manganese producer supporting EU and US requirements for the supply of critical raw materials for energy transition.”
