Projects
Forari Mine
The Forari Manganese Project, located on Efate Island, Vanuatu, is a historic manganese deposit with significant potential for modern, low-cost redevelopment. The site features shallow, high-grade mineralisation, including some of the highest-purity, battery-grade manganese, making it ideal for both steel production and emerging battery technologies.
Strategically positioned near deep-water export infrastructure, Forari can supply regional and global markets with high-quality manganese.
