The latest from Euro Manganese
The Euro Manganese share price soared today despite the company not releasing any price-sensitive news since last Tuesday.
Then, it announced it has received the second of three tranches of investment funding from EIT InnoEnergy.
EIT InnoEnergy's total investment into Euro Manganese will be worth €250,000. The second tranche will see EIT InnoEnergy paying €125,000 for 330,647 shares.

EIT InnoEnergy leads the European Battery Alliance's industrial stream. It's supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.
The money will go towards the Chvaletice Manganese Project's definitive feasibility study and demonstration plant.
The demonstration plant will produce samples of high-purity manganese for supply chain qualification by potential customers. The company expects those customers to include European electric vehicle and battery manufacturers.
