​​The Purple Pansy Manganese-Gold Project is located ~80km northwest of Phoenix in the Aguila Mining District of Arizona and comprises ~4,142 acres, which includes historic gold and manganese operations that are part of the district-scale manganese and gold system, with significant focus on the Black Rock Manganese Mine prospect given the historical operations at the site.​​

PROJECT STRATEGY

​

The Company’s development strategy is based on positioning the Purple Pansy Project as a cornerstone USA manganese and gold asset within a mining-friendly jurisdiction. The project provides direct leverage to gold in a record high-price environment and manganese.

​

The United States currently has no active manganese mining operations and is 100% import-reliant for its manganese requirements. Given manganese’s federally designated critical mineral status and its strategic importance to the U.S. energy and defence sectors, the project is well positioned to benefit from government initiatives aimed at accelerating the development of domestic critical mineral assets and highlighting the national priority being placed on rebuilding domestic manganese supply chains.
