A preliminary economic assessment (PEA), undertaken by consultants SRK Consulting, has shown a positive net present value (NPV) of $285-million for TSX-V- and Frankfurt-listed Giyani Metals’ K.Hill manganese project, in Botswana. Giyani will have to invest about $141.3-million in capital expenditure on the project, which is expected to produce about 245 000 t of high-purity electrolytic manganese metal (HPEMM) over a nine-year operating life.
