Shifting Gears at Euro Manganese Inc.
Change is afoot at Euro Manganese Inc., and it’s not just business as usual. The company has recently welcomed Ms. Ludivine Wouters as a non-executive Director on its Board. This isn’t just another appointment; it’s a calculated move that could reshape their approach in the complex mining sector.
Meet Ludivine Wouters
Hailing from France, Ms. Wouters isn’t just any newcomer—she brings a wealth of experience navigating the murky waters of European policy related to mining and critical raw materials. As Euro Manganese pushes forward with the Chvaletice Manganese Project, her insights are likely to be instrumental in steering strategic decisions.
Career Spotlight
Ludivine runs Latitude Five, focusing on Mining and Minerals as managing partner. She wears many hats: strategy developer, governance guru, and regulatory advisor. Her hands-on approach helps bridge gaps between natural resource firms and investors while fostering robust mining policies that can withstand scrutiny.
A Legal Eagle
Backed by substantial legal clout in corporate law and capital markets, Ms. Wouters has cut her teeth in top-tier international law firms across Paris and made waves in an investment bank setting over in London. With dual law degrees from elite French universities bolstering her expertise, she’s more than equipped to handle legal complexities thrown at her by the industry.
Ludivine's Strategic Vision
At her appointment announcement, Wouters articulated a clear vision for Euro Manganese amidst this transitional period for both the company and broader minerals market. She highlighted the surge in demand for responsibly sourced materials aligned with industrial ambitions—a trend that positions Euro Manganese favorably within European requirements for essential raw resources.
The Chvaletice Initiative
The Chvaletice project stands out as a game-changer for establishing crucial battery supply chains aimed at promoting sustainability through circular economies. With emerging shifts in battery material demands, Wouters’ perspectives could greatly influence how Euro Manganese adapts its strategies moving forward.

Acknowledging Contributions
The Chair of the Board, John Webster, paid tribute to Martyr’s rich contributions throughout his tenure—his expertise stemming from years spent thriving within investment banking left an indelible mark on Euro Manganese during its formative years.
