Euro Manganese Inc. issued follow-up remarks today regarding the European Commission’s recently approved Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), aimed at ensuring a sustainable supply of essential materials for the energy transition. With the Council of the EU granting final endorsement to the CRMA, Euro Manganese’s Chvaletice Manganese Project in the Czech Republic emerges as a pivotal asset, poised to become the sole European source of high-purity manganese crucial for the battery supply chain. The Act, officially adopted on March 18, 2024, identifies high-purity manganese as a strategic raw material vital for Europe’s decarbonization objectives and defense applications, while also designating manganese as a critical raw material due to its economic importance and supply risk. Dr. Matthew James, President & CEO of Euro Manganese, hailed the EU’s approval of the CRMA as a significant step towards securing critical materials for the energy transition, underscoring the potential of the Chvaletice Project to address these needs.
