Manganese X Energy Corp. Provides Preliminary Economic Assessment

(PEA) Battery Hill Manganese Mining Project Update

Montréal, Québec, Canada, March 29, 2022, Manganese X Energy Corp. (TSXV: MN)

(FSE: 9SC) (OTC: MNXXF) (“Manganese X” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide

an update on its Battery Hill Manganese Project PEA, having recently commissioned a

second market report geared mainly towards the Nor th American markets and to be

considered more accurate as it will reflect the changing market resulting from recent world

events.

The report named “Market Outlook for High -Purity Manganese Products” (the “Report”)

will be produced within a few days and will be followed by the PEA in the near term. In

addition to the Report’s focus on the North America market, it will include informat ion on

world markets. As a result of the Report, the PEA will be a more accurate reflection of the

recent substantial price increase and will take into consideration the increase in

demand for high-purity manganese products.

This Report, which assesses and computes new data applicable to economic analyses,

is particularly relevant to t he Company’s PEA . In addition, Wood PLC is adjusting the

Company’s pit optimization to accommodate these new market demand forecasts and

market pricing parameters.

Manganese X CEO Martin Kepman commented, “We are extremely excited to have the

highly acclaimed Wood PLC conducting our PEA on the Battery Hill project located near

Woodstock, New Brunswick, and we are also working very closely with our metallurgical

team at Kemetco Research Inc. We anticipate this technical study will validate our new

cost-saving metallurgical processes to economically produce a competitive, safe,

sustainable, high grade, EV compliant manganese product. With the demand for the

creation of a USA-Canada supply chain lessening the need for foreign imports, along with

the continuing of EV and back up energy storage units utilizing manganese, we are very

optimistic for the future.”

He continued, “At one time, manganese was known as the “forgotten mineral” but these

days, it’s certainly getting a lot of attention . The recent announcement of Stellantis’ $5

billion battery cell plant planned for Windsor, Ontario, is expected to increase interest in

manganese. Also, on March 22 nd, Tesla’s Elon Musk commented that there was

“interesting potential for manganese”. We are all aware that Tesla has been exploring

using more manganese in its battery cells.”
