Growing trends to adopt manganese-rich chemistries in batteries and the lack of U.S. based facilities to
supply high-purity manganese may well pose a bottleneck for the uptake of EVs.
With Borman’s expansion and upgrade this strategic bottleneck can be overcome in North America.
Why Manganese?
• Earth abundant cathode material
• Manganese ore is highly concentrated making refining and processing less energy intensive and cheap
• High grade manganese ore can be over 50% manganese by weight out of the mine
• Manganese is thermally stable and non-toxic
• No reliance on artisanal mining
Our Process
The MnSO4 solution is subject to a controlled electrolysis process to plate EMD onto the anode.
EMD Production Process
Borman produces 25 kt per annum
