Electric Metals (USA) Limited (TSXV:EML | OTCQB: EMUSF) has announced positive interim results in its Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the company’s Emily Manganese Project in Minnesota.
The PEA is a pivotal step in securing a domestic supply of high-purity manganese vital for the United States’ national security, energy infrastructure, and the electrification of everything. The PEA is being conducted by Forte Dynamics, Inc. (Forte), a United States-based mining and engineering consulting firm, in accordance with US and Canadian securities requirements.
Preliminary Highlights
- Underhand Cut-and-Fill underground mining method selected
- 88% extraction of the estimated resources
- 89% recovery of the contained manganese
In May 2024, Electric Metals announced that Forte had completed an NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for its Emily Manganese Project in Minnesota, confirming it as the highest-grade manganese resource in North America.
Drill core samples from both potential ore and waste zones were sent to RESPEC Engineering, a U.S.-based laboratory, for geotechnical testing. These tests, conducted in a controlled laboratory setting, were aimed at determining the most suitable mining method and optimal stope dimensions for underground mining. The results confirmed that underground mining is the most effective approach for the future extraction of manganese minerals from the Emily manganese deposit.
