Mr. Savage stated “I am thrilled to join Electric Metals. We believe the Emily Manganese Project represents the highest grade manganese deposit in North America and offers an exci�ng opportunity to develop highvalue high-purity manganese products for the electric vehicle and energy storage sector, filling a crucial gap in the US market“. The Board of Electric Metals is confident that Mr. Savage has the right experience to advance the Emily Manganese Deposit from a geologic, technical, economic and environmental viewpoint, while maintaining a stewardship that is in the best interest of all stakeholders. During the last year the company has expended great effort in explora�on drilling with the aim to further quan�fy the Emily Deposit. In the near future the Company expects to be able to announce an updated mineral resource and the results of the ongoing metallurgical laboratory research tes�ng of the ability of Electrical Metals to produce batery grade high purity manganese sulphate monohydrate (HPMSM) and other highgrade manganese products from the Emily Manganese Project.
