Giyani Metals' dual product plan for battery market

Giyani Metals Corp (TSX-V:EMM, OTC:CATPF) chief development officer Sean Thijsse talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's recent milestone in producing high-purity manganese sulfate monohydrate (HPMSM) at its demonstration plant in Johannesburg. Thijsse described this achievement as a “big leap forward” in the commercialization of its manganese project, adding that “our potential offtake partners have been waiting for” this product. The demo plant also delivered key technical insights that will help optimize the full-scale design for the definitive feasibility study (DFS), expected by the end of Q1 2026. He highlighted that the company has successfully completed Phase 1 of a three-phase qualification program with US battery tech firm Charge CCCV (C4V). The initial testing showed that Giyani’s HPMSM product delivered performance “remarkably consistent” with C4V’s baseline cathode material. The company is now progressing to more advanced phases of cell testing over the coming months. Alongside this, Giyani is also supplying material to multiple offtake partners and is seeing positive feedback. Thijsse also discussed the strategic benefit of offering both HPMSM and HPMO (high-purity manganese oxide), which allows flexibility across different battery chemistries. Over the next 6–12 months, investors can expect updates on the DFS, offtake agreements, project finance, and early infrastructure work in Botswana.
