Not A One Trick Pony

Although the focus is on RR1's nobium and rare earth's exploration at the moment, the company's long - term viability could be enhanced by its 665km - square White Castles manganese project, 80km north of Morrissey Hill.

RR1's initial assay results indicate the potential presence of high-grade manganese, which is emerging as a battery metal alternative to lithium, etc.

It's the 4th most used metal globally and is expected to be in short supply in coming decades, with no substitute in steel making. It has been recognised as a critical mineral by our government and a USA White House document (June 2021) states that manganese use in battery cathodes may result in the metals preferred element emergence in next generation battery cells, due to its ‘relative safety’ and ‘having by far the most supply stability’.
