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.
