About Us
Firebird Metals Limited (ASX:FRB) is a West Australian company focused on the exploration and development of its 100% owned project portfolio, comprising of four highly prospective manganese projects in the renowned East Pilbara Manganese province of Western Australia:
- Oakover Manganese Project
- Hill 616 Manganese Project
- Disraeli Manganese Project
- Raggard Hills Manganese Project
The Company’s primary focus is on the development of the Oakover and Hill 616 Manganese Projects, which are located approximately 85 km east and southeast of Newman and together cover approximately 375 km2. These two projects give the company a significant total Mineral Resource Estimate of 229.7 million tonnes:
- Oakover Project – 172.2 Mt @ 9.9% Mn
- 58.7 Mt @ 10.4 % Mn Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate
- 113.6 Mt at 9.6 % Mn Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate
- Hill 616 Project – 57.5 Mt @ 12.2% Mn Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate
The total Mineral Resources Estimate of 229.7 million tonnes provides a solid technical foundation for further development as the company targets production of manganese for two key markets:
- manganese sulphate for use in the growing lithium ion battery market that is used in electric vehicles, where manganese is a critical battery raw material; and
- manganese ore/concentrates for consumption in the global steel industries, where manganese plays an important and un-substitutable role in the strength and hardness of steel
Firebird is focused on creating and growing sustainable value for our stakeholders through the application of best practices in exploration and our commitment to protecting the health and wellbeing of our employees, the environment and the communities where we work.
