TSX-V-listed Giyani Metals has reported that profitable interim outcomes for high-purity manganese oxide (HPMO) produced from its demonstration plant in, Johannesburg, South Africa, have been acquired from US battery know-how chief Cost CCCV (C4V).
The outcomes are from Part 2 of C4V’s Digital DNA Provide Chain Qualification Program.
Utilizing HPMO produced from Giyani’s demo plant, C4V is continuous lengthy cycle life testing on a number of single-layer pouch cells as a part of Part 2 testing of its Digital DNA Provide Chain Qualification Program.
Interim outcomes point out that Giyani’s HPMO meets C4V’s high quality assurance requirements.
Giyani says electrode density is corresponding to baseline electrodes, including that price testing demonstrates constant price and biking stability throughout a spread of C-rates.
The corporate explains that cells incorporating Giyani’s HPMO are additionally displaying capability retention corresponding to baseline cells throughout lengthy biking, with general stability wanting encouraging.
Part 2 testing is ongoing, with additional analysis of the cells utilizing Giyani’s HPMO till the cells attain 80% retained capability which is anticipated inside 60 days.
Part 3 consists of multi-layer pouch cell testing with related checks as Part 2 and is anticipated to take about six months following the completion of Part 2.
In the meantime, Giyani notes that the definitive feasibility research (DFS) for the Ok.Hill battery-grade manganese venture, in Botswana, is on observe for launch throughout this quarter.
Giyani says discussions are ongoing with plenty of potential strategic companions to help Giyani’s strategic targets and aims.
By the event and operation of the demo plant, Giyani says it has developed a course of flowsheet that enables the corporate to provide at scale, two battery-grade manganese merchandise – HPMO and high-purity manganese sulphate monohydrate (HPMSM).
This can allow the corporate to adapt and provide a broader vary of future battery chemistries.
Giyani notes that it has shipped each HPMO and HPMSM to a number of potential companions as a part of the offtake qualification processes for testing.
Giyani acquired a letter of intent in June 2025 from the Export-Import Financial institution of the US for as much as $225-million in financing to help the development of the venture.
“Constructing on the success of Part 1, the interim outcomes from Part 2 of C4V’s Qualification Program look promising, with HPMO samples produced from our demo plant efficiently assembly the mandatory high quality assurance necessities set by C4V, a number one US battery know-how firm.
“That is one other step ahead to securing unbiased third-party validation of the standard of our manganese product and we look ahead to the completion of Part 2 as soon as the cells have reached 80% capability retention.
“In parallel, I’m happy to report that our DFS stays on observe for completion this quarter and we look ahead to saying the outcomes to the market,” says Giyani interim government chairperson Nigel Robinson.
“We’re inspired with the constructive interim outcomes from Part 2 of our Digital DNA Qualification Program with Giyani Metals.
“Their HPMO product is displaying promising efficiency throughout our inside analysis and aligns effectively with our materials and electrochemical requirements. We look ahead to finishing Part 2 and advancing by Part 3 of qualification and additional strengthening our collaboration,” provides C4V provide chain VP Baasit Ali.
