Its proprietary, patented and exclusively licensed technology enables the direct processing of manganese concentrate to cathode active materials (CAM) within a single integrated process line, pairing a high-efficiency kiln and advanced crystallisation with downstream processing know-how to target lower cost and energy use. The Company’s immediate focus is delivery of its Australian Demonstration Plant (ADP) in Perth, supported by a $2 million grant from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) under the Battery Breakthrough Initiative. The ADP, Australia’s first demonstration-scale facility processing manganese concentrate into high-purity manganese sulphate (HPMS) and downstream battery materials, including CAM, is advancing rapidly. It builds on Firebird’s operating pilot facility, which has demonstrated the full flowsheet from manganese ore to high-performance CAM, and will validate the process under Australian conditions while delivering HPMSM, precursor-CAM and CAM samples for application in lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) and lithium manganese rich (LMR) next-generation batteries. Firebird also holds 234 Mt of manganese resources in Western Australia, led by the Oakover Manganese Project (176.7 Mt at 9.9% Mn, including Indicated 105.8 Mt at 10.1% Mn1 ) and Hill 616 (57.5 Mt at 12.2% Mn2 ). The Oakover Manganese Project is underpinned by an 18-year mine life and compelling project economics, including a NPV of A$741 million and an IRR of 73%3 . The Company has the flexibility to source manganese ore through third‑party suppliers and stockpiles, with mining optionality retained within its broader portfolio.
