Manganese X Energy Corp. Receives Positive ORE Sorting Study Results IN Preparation FOR Pre-Feasibility Study
MANGANESE X ENERGY CORP. RECEIVES POSITIVE ORE SORTING STUDY
RESULTS IN PREPARATION FOR PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY
Montreal, Quebec – March 12, 2025 – Manganese X Energy Corp. (TSXV: MN) (FSE: 9SC)
(TRADEGATE: 9SC) (OTCQB: MNXXF) (the “Company” or “M anganese X ”) is pleased to
announce positive results from ABH Engineering Inc.‘s preliminary phase 1 ore sorting study
conducted on sample material extracted from the Company’s Battery Hill manganese deposit near
Woodstock, New Brunswick, Canada.
The study was conducted in preparation for the Company ’s Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) destined
to start in the second quarter of 2025. Based on the favourable preliminary results from Phase 1,
a more extensive Phase 2 Study is currently underway in concert with the Company’s Battery Hill
PFS.
CEO Martin Kepman said, “We believe that these results are very promising and as a result, we
are undertaking more intensive tests in Phase 2 so as to prove the economic potential of the
sorting technology being used”.
Kepman further explained, “Through the sorting process, the ore is preconcentrated by rejecting
waste material from the economically valuable ore prior to further processing. The benefits of
effective ore sorting technology can be numerous”.
The potential benefits include improved project NPV and IRR, reduced energy and water
consumption, expansion of resource by cut -off grade reduction, a potential increase in mine life,
an increase in total metal production, a reduction in capital expenditures and , decreased tailings
storage and associated risk.
Brent Hilcher, VP of Mineral Processing at ABH Engineering, stated, "The Manganese X results
are extremely promising. Two different technologies have been shown to be able to very effectively
sort high grade rocks from waste rocks. In the detailed testing, the work showed the sensor and
predictive algorithms make very few mistakes, indicating this will be a sorting application with well
above average efficiency."
The initial ore sorting study results demonstrated over 95 per cent effectiveness in sorting valuable
rocks from waste. The test program used a sample set grading 7.7% Mn. The two sorting
technologies evaluated produced product grades of 12.9% Mn and 12% Mn with reject grades of
1.4% Mn and 1.2% respectively.
