Executive Order to Accelerate U.S. Critical Mineral Development Reinforces
Strategic Value of Electric Metals’ Emily Manganese Project in Minnesota
Toronto, Ontario, March 27, 2025 – Electric Metals (USA) Limited ("EML" or the "Company")
(TSXV:EML | OTCQB:EMUSF) welcomes the recent ExecuEve Order issued by President Trump,
Etled “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Produc4on.” The order represents a
major federal policy shiN aimed at rapidly expanding domesEc mining and processing of criEcal
minerals. It calls for expedited permiRng, prioriEzaEon of federal lands for resource
development, and the use of the Defense ProducEon Act to provide financial support for U.S.-
based mineral projects vital to naEonal security and economic resilience.
A key provision of the order requires federal agencies and authorities to rapidly identify priority
projects that can be advanced immediately for federal regulatory approval. This mechanism is
designed to catalyze the near-term development of high-impact mineral assets and supply chain
infrastructure.
The Executive Order directly reinforces the strategic importance of Electric Metals (USA) Inc. and
its flagship Emily Manganese Project in Minnesota—the highest-grade manganese deposit in
North America, a potential domestic source of manganese, a mineral v ital to EV battery
production, energy storage, steelmaking, and defense applications.
Brian Savage, CEO, Electric Metals commented: “We welcome this decisive federal action and
its emphasis on accelerating the development of critical mineral projects. Our Emily Manganese
Project fits squarely within the goals of this Executive Order, as a U.S. -based, high-grade
manganese resource that is ready to move forward and help secure America’s mineral
independence.”
The Emily Manganese Project is well aligned with the criteria outlined in the Executive Order and
stands as a strong candidate for priority designation, given its potential to significantly reduce
U.S. reliance on foreign manganese supply.
The Emily Manganese Deposit, Minnesota is the highest grade manganese deposit in North
America. Electric Metals is poised to emerge as a low -cost producer of 100% domesEcally
sourced, high-purity, bacery grade, manganese products and chemicals, including HPMSM, for
the electric vehicle bacery and energy storage sectors.

company with manganese and silver projects geared to supporEng the transiEon to clean energy.
The Company’s principal asset is the Emily Manganese Project in Minnesota, the highest-grade
manganese deposit in North America, which has been the subject of considerable technical
studies, including NaEonal Instrument 43-101 Technical Reports – Resource EsEmates. The
Company’s mission in Minnesota is to become a domesEc US producer of high-value, high-purity
manganese metal and chemical products to supply the North American electric vehicle bacery,
technology and industrial markets. With manganese playing a criEcal and prominent role in
lithium-ion bacery formulaEons, and with no current domesEc supply or acEve mines for
manganese in North America, the development of the Emily Manganese Project represents a
significant opportunity for America, the State of Minnesota and for the Company’s shareholders.
