            <description><![CDATA[ASX-listed Firebird Metals has managed to reduce the sulphur content of its manganese-rich and nickel-manganese hydroxide materials by 46% to 610 parts per million, which strengthens the material's precursor quality for lithium-manganese-rich (LMR) cathode materials.

Firebird has reached a tap density of 1.36 g/cm3 which is 35% above its previously reported results and 11% above a commercial reference, which benefits the company's pathway towards commercialisation. Improved tap density may allow more active material, and therefore more energy, to fit within the same electrode volume.]]></description>

Geomet originally planned to use two gas-fired rotary kilns but has suggested to its board a single electric tunnel kiln to reduce the project's dependence on gas and and enable the project to run solely on green power supplied by State-owned energy company CEZ, which is also Geomet's 51% shareholder. ]]></description>
