Manganese X Energy Corp. Provides Update on Resource Definition Drilling
Program at its Battery Hill Manganese Deposit and
Undertakes Additional Ore Sorting Testing
Montreal, Quebec – November 6, 2024 - Manganese X Energy Corp. (TSXV: MN) (FSE: 9SC)
(TRADEGATE: 9SC) (OTCQB: MNXXF) (the "Company" or "Manganese X") is pleased to
announce that starting later this week, it will drill several portions of the Battery Hill deposit near
Woodstock, New Brunswick, to upgrade specific areas of Inferred Mineral Resources to the
Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource categories.
This resource upgrading drill program is important so these areas of higher grade, near surface
mineralization which would be mined in the early years of production can be included and
optimized in the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”). Depending on results, four holes will test
the recently discovered Moody Hill Northwest mineralization, two holes will test the Sharpe Farm
Northwest portion of the deposit, and four holes are planned to test the Sharpe Farm Northeast
mineralization.
The drill program which will provide approximately 1250 metres of core for analysis, is designed
to finalize grade and tonnage information for a new NI 43 -101 compliant Mineral Resource
estimate that will be part of the upcoming PFS.
Ore Sorting
The Company has selected 100 representative pieces of core from its Battery Hill deposit and
shipped them to the TOMRA Ore Sorting Solutions laboratory in Germany. This testing is a
variation of testing undertaken by the Company in 2017 as reported in the 2022 Battery Hill
Preliminary Economic Assessment and, if successful, would positively impact the mining,
processing and environmental footprint of the project. Samples were received in Germany in early
October and preliminary results are expected by year end.
Metallurgical and High Purity Test Samples
Kemetco Research Inc. (Kemetco) located in Richmond, B.C. , continues to operate the
Manganese X Energy Pilot Plant to provide samples of its battery-grade compliant high purity
manganese sulfate product (“HPMSM”) to potential customers. Kemetco is also continuing to
detail all operating parameters of the Battery Hill Project's metallurgical and purification flow sheet
required for the Company's upcoming Battery Hill PFS. Testing also includes investigating
additional possible products from the same ore feedstock.
Martin Kepman, CEO of Manganese X, states, “ We are pleased that th ese programs will be
completed in the near future since they are critical for the economic optimization of the project
during the upcoming pre-feasibility study and the forward planning of the mine permitting process.
We remain totally committed to be at the forefront of a domestic supply of EV compliant high-
purity manganese for the North American battery manufacturers. The Company anticipates
releasing further updates from US Battery Technology Leader C4V and Kemetco Research Inc.
within the next two weeks.”
C4V is a global leader in renewable battery technology, as well as involved in some of the world’s
largest Gigafactory developments.
