VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Euro Manganese Inc. (TSX-V/ASX: EMN) (the \"Company\" or \"EMN\") is pleased to announce feasibility study test work for its Chvaletice Manganese Project has returned positive results and the Company has received increased interest for samples from its Demonstration Plant. Feasibility Study Test Work Supports Key PEA Results The Project’s feasibility study test work has been underway since October 2019 at the laboratory facilities of lead process plant engineers, BGRIMM Technology Group. Test work is progressing well, with both magnetic separation and deep purification confirmation tests now substantially complete. Magnetic separation test results verified those previously reported in the Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”)1 with results of approximately 85% tMn (total manganese) recovery and a 15% tMn concentrate grade, supporting the viability of this important step in the proposed process flow sheet. Deep purification tests have also verified previous test findings, with the successful removal of target product impurities. These tests have the ultimate objective of supporting and optimizing the Project’s capability to deliver ultra-high purity electrolytic manganese metal (“HPEMM”) and manganese sulphate monohydrate (“HPMSM”). As part of the verification of the project reagent supply chain, samples have been obtained from various European suppliers in order to verify reagent suitability and to ensure the Company’s stringent product quality targets are met, as well as to optimize dosage, with the objective of reducing operating costs. Chvaletice Demonstration Plant Capacity allocated to Prospective Customers reaches 55% As reported on February 3, 2020, the Company has received considerable interest from potential customers in procuring high-purity manganese products from its Chvaletice Manganese Project demonstration plant, for testing and supply chain qualification. The Company recently signed another memorandum of understanding with a glob...
