ConsMin partnerships and signals
Strategic signalPartnerships
Three partnerships are on record, tiered minor and strategic.
- Marble Bar DFES (Department of Fire and Emergency Services)minorConsMin donated a Starlink satellite internet service to the local DFES branch in Marble Bar. This service provides on-scene communication during emergency response activities and potentially saves lives. This is a community support donation rather than a commercial partnership.
- Curtin Innovation Centre (Curtin University)strategicConsMin partnered with Curtin Innovation Centre to develop the Quoll!Quoll AI programme, which uses machine learning to identify species (Northern Quoll, cat, dingo, bird, rock rat) in motion-sensitive camera trap images without human input. A data science student intern from Curtin University joined ConsMin for 12 weeks in early 2020 to develop the programme, which was trained on approximately 3,000 photos. The project won the AMEC Environmental Award in 2020.
- The Hunger Project AustraliaminorConsMin partnered with The Hunger Project Australia for its International Women's Day event in May. Representatives Millie Allbon and Jillian Formentin facilitated two sessions on 'Unearthing Women's Leadership' for ConsMin employees and guests from Woodie Woodie Mine Site, West Perth Office, Warrawagine Cattle Co and Wallal Downs.

ConsMin competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- South32: Diversified major that owns 60% of the Groote Eylandt Mining Company (GEMCO), one of the world's largest and lowest-cost manganese ore producers, providing a direct manganese supply benchmark for ConsMin.
- Vale: Brazilian diversified major that operates manganese mines in Brazil and operates globally in iron ore and base metals, useful as a broad incumbent benchmark for large-scale open-pit Pilbara-style operations.
- Anglo American: Diversified global miner with a historical manganese business (now Samancor jointly held with South32) and broad exposure to battery materials, providing a comparable diversified incumbent reference point for ConsMin's manganese focus.
Direct peers
- OM Holdings: ASX-listed manganese and ferroalloys producer operating the Bootu Creek mine in Australia and a smelter in Malaysia, with a comparable Australian manganese mining footprint and downstream exposure.
- Eramet: French mining and metallurgy group that operates the Moanda mine in Gabon, the world's largest high-grade manganese deposit, sharing ConsMin's premium-ore positioning and integrated manganese strategy.
- Jupiter Mines: ASX-listed pure-play manganese producer operating the Tshipi Borwa mine in South Africa and the KMR manganese project in Australia, making it the closest direct publicly traded peer to ConsMin's Woodie Woodie operations.
- Ghana Manganese Company: Operator of the Nsuta manganese mine in Ghana — geographically adjacent to and operationally comparable with ConsMin's Ghana subsidiary, Consolidated Minerals Ghana Operations.
Emerging players
- Element 25: Australian manganese developer focused on the Butcherbird project and battery-grade manganese sulphate processing, representing an emerging Western Australian manganese peer with an EV-and-battery demand thesis.
