Christmas Creek Manganese Discovery
A Potential Company Maker?
Field work targeted REE
(not Mn) based on
radiometric anomalism
Extensive black outcrops
discovered and samples
taken
Extremely high-grade rock
chips in first pass outcrop
sampling
Outcrop showed scale,
with ~750m of continuous
Mn in an area 750 x 400m,
constrained by recent sand
cover
58.37% Mn
Sample ID

Geophysics Indicates Significant Scale Potential
Beyond the Outcrop
High dry bulk density
average of 4.03 g/cc
(3.31 - 4.47 g/cc)
from representative
rock chips
Manganese-rich
material at depth
likely to present as a
gravity high
https://trekmetals.com.au/announcements/7311646
Gravity data shows a
good correlation with the
known outcrop
Data also shows
significant anomalism
that extends well beyond
the outcrop
Second‘northern’trend
identified under cover…
could it represent more
manganese?

Additional Rock Chip Sampling Assays Confirm
Extensive High-Grade
https://trekmetals.com.au/announcements/7326226
Assays average 50% Mn,
confirming high-grade
nature of mineralisation
Grades up to 60.1% Mn
(approaching theoretical
maximum in Mn-oxide)
Only one question
remains: How much is
down there?
Drilling set to
commence in April to
answer this question!

Manganese Fundamentals
Grade Matters
A critical mineral hiding in plain sight
◆ Essential for steel production (~90% of global Mn demand)
◆ Increasingly critical for lithium-ion batteries (NMC, LFP, LMFP)
◆ Designated a critical mineral in multiple Western jurisdictions
Manganese Pricing
◆ Current manganese price of ~US$4.50/dmtu*^ for 44% material, which
equates to US$198 per tonne of ore
◆ Manganese is twice as valuable as iron ore (~US$100 per tonne of ore^)
Grade is king
◆ >44% Mn ore trades at a significant premium to lower-grade material
◆ Only two high-grade producers in Australia: Woodie Woodie (ConsMin)
& Groote Eylandt (S32)
*A Dry Metric Tonne Unit (dmtu) represents 1% of a dry metric tonne.
Price conversion to AU$/tonne for ore grading 44% Mn is US$4.5 x 100 x 44% = US$198/tonne,
converted to AU$ x 1.5 = AU$297/tonne.
