Euro Manganese Confirms Arrival of all Demonstration Plant Modules at Site

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (September 6, 2022) – Euro Manganese Inc. (TSX-V and ASX: EMN; OTCQX:

EUMNF; Frankfurt: E06) (the " Company" or " EMN") is pleased to confirm that the two shipments,

comprising 12 containers and including all modules of the Demonstration Plant, have now arrived at the

Chvaletice Project site in the Czech Republic.

Modules are now being unpacked and placed in position within the two fully-refurbished buildings .

Commissioning of the Demonstration Plant, including cold, hot and performance testing, will commence

once all modules and ancillary equipment are in place , inspected and connected. The Demonstration

Plant is expected to be in full operation and producing to customer specifications by the end of 2022.

The Demonstration Plant is designed to produce large r-scale product samples to be used for customer

supply chain qualification of Euro Manganese’s high-purity manganese products (HPEMM and HPMSM).

It will also enable process optimization and serve as a training facility. The Demonstration Plant is

expected to operate for up to three years and will be available for testing of potential additional feedstock

for the commercial Chvaletice plant, as well as testing production of potential alternative manganese end

products requested by the market.

The Company estimates that the cost of the Demonstration Plant, including f abrication, delivery,

commissioning, laboratory set-up and an operator training program, as well as the cost of operation for

one year, will be approximately US$5.8 million, of which US$3.1 million has already been paid.

Dr. Matthew James, Euro Manganese’s President and CEO, commented:

“The arrival and installation of the Demonstration Plant is another important milestone for the Chvaletice

Manganese Project. It is also testament to the tenacity of our team, who successfully navigated several

challenges with the manufacturing and delivery of the Demonstration Plant, including the inability to

travel to China during COVID, a re-routing of the shipping as a result of the Russia -Ukraine conflict, and

industrial action at Hamburg port . Once all modules are inspected and connected to services , the

commissioning process will commence.

“We have orders for the Demonstration Plant samples and the plant also provides prospective customers

the opportunity to visit the site and witness firsthand the supply security, traceability , and high-quality

nature of Chvaletice’s battery-grade manganese products.”
