Giyani's High Purity Manganese Oxide Phase 1 Qualification From Charge CCCV's Digital DNA Program
Giyani's High Purity Manganese Oxide Phase 1
Qualification From Charge CCCV's Digital DNA
Program
TORONTO
,
Oct. 21, 2025
/CNW/ - Giyani Metals Corp. (TSXV: EMM) (GR: A2DUU8) ("
Giyani
" or
the "
Company
"), developer of the K.Hill Battery-Grade Manganese Project in
Botswana
("
K.Hill
" or
"
the Project
"), is pleased to announce that its High Purity Manganese Oxide ("
HPMO
") sample
produced from its Demonstration Plant ("
Demo Plant
") in
Johannesburg, South Africa
, has been
qualified by US battery technology leader Charge CCCV LLC's ("
C4V
") Phase 1 standards, and has
proceeded to Phase 2 of C4V's Digital DNA Supply Chain Qualification Program (the "
Qualification
Program"
).
Highlights:
Giyani's HPMO has successfully met the qualification criteria of C4V's Qualification Program.
The HPMO used in the Qualification Program was produced at Giyani's Demo Plant in
South
Africa
, and not laboratory-scale test batches.
Giyani will deliver additional quantities of HPMO from its Demo Plant to allow C4V to undertake
Phase 2 and 3 trials.
Nigel Robinson
,
Interim Executive Chair
of the Company, commented:
"The results from Phase 1 of C4V's Qualification Program are an important milestone which has
enabled us to demonstrate that our HPMO product not only meets specifications, but also meets
the performance criteria through C4V's coin cell analysis.
This is the first step towards determining the viability of our HPMO product through an independent
third party, and will contribute to the offtake process being continued in parallel. We look forward to
continuing to work together with C4V and will keep the market updated as we progress through
Phases 2 and 3."
Phase 1 Qualification
Using HPMO from Giyani's Demo Plant in
South Africa
, C4V performed coin cell analysis as part of
its Phase 1 testing of its Digital DNA Supply Chain Qualification Program. The analysis demonstrated
that Giyani's HPMO meets the Phase 1 qualification criteria and will proceed to Phase 2. A coin cell
test is designed to evaluate the electrochemical properties, such as first cycle efficiency, capacity,
charge/discharge efficiency and density. Three phases of testing are required to qualify Giyani's
HPMO across C4V's cathode partners. Phase 2 is expected to take approximately five months to
complete and consists of single layer pouch cell testing to check for long cycling, cycling stability and
rate testing. Phase 3 consists of multi-layer pouch cell testing with similar checks as Phase 2 and is
expected to take approximately six months following the completion of Phase 2.
