If E25 management are worth their exorbitant salaries then they should be doing their best to get the Butcherbird project back online and getting Mn ore produced and sold. This current situation will only be available for a 12 month period at most.
Waiting for E25 to produce manganese battery materials to save your bacon is for dummies. (won't mention names)
This increase in Mn ore prices will only benefit those producers who PRODUCE.
The South African Mn companies like Tshipi ( JMS and OMH) will be rewarded with $$100's millions in profits.
Will E25 sit and just watch or will they actually become a producer during this elevated period?
If E25 just sits and does nothing then the writing is on the wall, other Mn ore producers will be cashed up and E25 will continue to be the dog company in the manganese business.
As they say "make hay while the sun shines"
