Plymouth Deposit - Mining Schedule
13. • Manganese predominately occurs as a manganese carbonate
(Rhodochrosite) in the Plymouth Deposit:
o Manganese carbonate – a reduced form of manganese (Mn with an
oxidation state of II)
o Manganese carbonates are preferred for production of high purity
manganese metal relative to high-grade manganese oxide feed
materials (i.e. Mn with an oxidation state of III or IV)
o Lower operating costs from preferred mineralogy yielding lower power
consumption
o Readily soluble in sulphuric acid, forming a solution containing
manganese sulphates with a minimal amount of heavy metal
impurities

15. What Is Manganese? CMC
15
− Mostly sold as raw ore and semi-processed product, i.e. ferro-manganese
− Essential to iron and steel production, representing 85% - 90% of total demand
of manganese
− Also used in the production of aluminum alloys, dry cell battery, ceramic/glass,
LED lights, and others
• Ultra High-Purity Manganese products have emerged
as a critical cathode material in Li-ion batteries:
− Sold as:
o High-Purity Electrolytic Manganese Metal
(HPEMM/99.9% EMM); or
o High-Purity Manganese Sulphate
Monohydrate (HPMSM/HP MnSO4)
− Application:
o EVs
o Utility storage devices
o Electronics
o Power tools, E-bikes and others.
Manganese is one of the most widely used metals – 5th most mined metal in the world.
HPEMM HPMSM
• Conventional Manganese Products:
16. Electrolytic Manganese Metal (EMM):
• EMM is primarily consumed in the steel
industry as an alloy additive:
– Steel Sector: 74%
– Specialty Mn Alloy: 12%
– Electronic, chemical, and other
industries: 14%
• EMM is produced primarily from Mn
carbonate deposits that offer lower
operating costs than Mn oxide deposits.
High Purity Manganese Metals:
• Li-ion battery market is growing exponentially with increased consumption of electric
vehicles.
• High Purity Manganese products are key components used in the cathode structure of
lithium-ion batteries with other minerals such as lithium, nickel and/or cobalt, and can be
produced in the form of:
− High Purity Electrolytic Manganese Metal (HPEMM); or
− High Purity Manganese Sulfate Monohydrate (HMMSM). 16

17. o High performance, low cost, fast
charging, thermal stability, long shelf-
life
o Li-ion battery cathodes with Mn
content currently are and will
continue to be the most dominant
types:
➢ Mn demand is estimated to
grow at a CAGR of 23% from
2017 to 2027*
➢ The primary cathode chemistry
in 2040 will be NMC and
LNMO, requiring Mn input of
over one million tonnes of Mn
metal equivalent – Source: Cairn

• High demand for renewable energy sources drives growth of Li-ion Battery Market:
o 11.6% CAGR*
o from 99 GWh of annual capacity production in 2017 to 2,325 GWh in 2040 – Source: Cairn ERA.

Manganese is used in the production of NMC and LNMO cathode formulations:
• NMC - there are several major formulations based on the ratio of Nickel to Manganese to Cobalt:
• LNMO (Lithium-Nickel-Manganese Oxide):
− The highest consumer of Mn per 1 kWh of capacity (over 1 kg)
− Will mature commercially after 2025
