Manganese, especially the specialised high-purity battery-grade material (HP MSM), often doesn't receive the recognition it deserves within the battery supply chain discourse. While manganese is abundant, the challenge lies in purifying it to meet stringent battery standards, a feat companies like Giyani Metals Corp. are in the process of achieving at a commercial level. By streamlining the process from ore to battery-grade product, they're not only disrupting the monopolised supply chain but also gaining a crucial first-mover advantage without the burdensome double handling of metal formation. Furthermore, the ARCH Sustainable Resources Fund is thrilled to be part of this journey, having recently taken a cornerstone position in Giyani Metals Corp.. This strategic partnership underscores our commitment to advancing sustainable battery technologies and marks an exciting step forward in the realm of high-purity manganese production.
