AE Fuels Corporation Achieves 95-99% Manganese Recovery And Produces Battery-Grade HPMSM Crystals From Continuous Mini-Pilot Testing AE Fuels Corporation announced positive results from mini-pilot testing undertaken by Australia's national science agency, CSIRO. The program successfully demonstrated a scalable purification pathway for the production of high-purity manganese sulphate monohydrate (HPMSM), achieving manganese recoveries of 95-99%, strong impurity control, successful continuous purification performance and batch crystallization of the resulting strip liquor. The results represent an important technical de-risking milestone for AE Fuels Corporation's manganese battery materials strategy and support progression toward larger-scale pilot testing, customer qualification programs and future development studies. The work also preserves optionality to evaluate future downstream production pathways including electrolytic manganese metal (EMM) and electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD). Continuous mini-pilot testing delivered manganese recoveries ranging from 95% to 99%, highlighting the effectiveness of the purification process under sustained operating conditions. Testing produced high-purity manganese sulphate monohydrate (HPMSM) crystals that met the battery-grade impurity limits assessed in the program. The purification circuit demonstrated strong impurity control, including the removal of calcium, magnesium and other impurities to levels consistent with battery-grade limits assessed during the program. The results provide a significant technical de-risking milestone and support progression toward larger-scale continuous testing, customer sample generation and feasibility-level studies. The program used synthetic manganese sulphate feed liquor formulated to reflect the expected chemistry of South Woodie Woodie leach solutions. Continuous testing achieved manganese recoveries generally ranging from 95% to 99%, while demonstrating strong impurity control, effective phase separation, low organic entrainment and no crud formation during operation. Calcium, one of the most important impurities requiring control for battery-grade HPMSM production, was reduced below the battery-grade impurity limits assessed during testing. Batch crystallization testing conducted on strip liquor generated during the mini-pilot program successfully produced HPMSM crystals that met the battery-grade impurity limits assessed in the program. Product qualification by battery and cathode precursor manufacturers requires not only high manganese recovery, but also effective control of impurities that can affect downstream battery-material performance. The successful production of battery-grade HPMSM crystals from continuous mini-pilot testing represents an important technical milestone and provides a stronger foundation for future customer engagement, strategic partnership discussions and larger-scale pilot testing. The next phase of work is expected to utilize feed liquors generated from bulk sample material collected from the South Woodie Woodie Contact deposit. This work is intended to provide a more representative assessment of the integrated processing flowsheet and support future pilot-scale testing and customer sample generation. The successful production of battery-grade HPMSM from continuous mini-pilot testing provides AE Fuels Corporation with an enhanced technical platform from which to advance product qualification programs, strategic partnership discussions, customer engagement activities and future development studies as it pursues participation in higher-value battery materials markets. Demonstrated continuous production of purified manganese sulphate liquor, followed by successful batch crystallization of battery-grade HPMSM, a critical precursor material used in lithium-ion batteries. Further validated the proposed purification flowsheet and process design. Generated product samples in support of future qualification programs with potential customers and inform discussions with prospective downstream partners. Contributed to the ongoing reduction of technical risk ahead of larger-scale pilot operations. Provided additional data to support future engineering studies, process optimization and feasibility-level evaluations. Collectively, these outcomes are expected to strengthen confidence in the Project's development pathway, support advancement toward potential commercial-scale production and ultimately advance AE Fuels Corporation's strategy of moving beyond mining and capturing greater value through participation in higher-value downstream battery materials markets.
