Help plan for a new advanced processing plant in Louisiana - Travel to USA required - Join the battery revolution Project Planner Element 25 Ltd is an ASX listed resource company (ASX: E25) which is developing it’s 100% owned Butcherbird Project to produce high value, high-purity manganese: a commodity powering the technology revolution. The Butcherbird Deposit is Australia’s largest onshore manganese resource, containing more than 180 million tonnes at 10.8% manganese in JORC resources. Element 25 is proud to be a key player in producing materials which advance battery technology, wind and solar power generation, and associated grid electrical storage systems. Our projects may also produce manganese ore for use in steelmaking. The company has a number of exploration projects with potential for other high-value elements including cobalt, copper, nickel and gold. The unique processing technique employed at Butcherbird also reduces the operation's potential carbon footprint.
