Manganese X Energy Joins World-Renowned International
Manganese Institute
Montreal, Quebec (Newsfile Corp. February 21, 2023) Manganese X Energy Corp. (TSXV:
MN) (FSE: 9SC) (TRADEGATE: 9SC) (OTCQB: MNXXF) (the “Company” or “Manganese X”)
is pleased to announce that Manganese X has joined the world-renowned International
Manganese Institute (IMnI) of Paris, France , and will be an active participant in the IMnl High
Purity Mn Committee, whose mission is to promote, advance, improve and increase utilization of
High Purity Manganese within EV Battery chemistries.
Manganese X CEO Martin Kepman commented, “We are extremely pleased to have joined such
a prestigious organization, and to be an integral participant in the Committee , meaning
Manganese X will continue to be part of the movement to advance High Purity Manganese in the
EV world. It’s perfect timing because at the same time that we’re meeting with companies which
notably share the same vision as Manganese X, our high purity manganese Pilot Plant Project is
near completion. This project intends to validate our patent-pending high purity manganese
technology on a larger scale so as to fulfill our mission of Battery Hill’s manganese being used to
supply high purity manganese in the North American EV battery supply chain”.
The IMnI is the association representing the global Manganese industry with more than 100
Member companies producing, trading and consuming Manganese in all its forms. F ounded in
1975, IMnI’s mission is to provide vision and guidance to the Manganese industry by promoting
economic, social and environmental responsibility and sustainability to all stakeholders. With a
staff of six experts based in Europe, India and Ch ina, the IMnI is the best source of market
research and sustainability information on Manganese.
Manganese X’s Pilot Plant Project is being managed by Kemetco Research Inc., a well -known
metallurgical engineering company, headquartered in Richmond, BC , Canada. The Company’s
Battery Hill manganese deposit is being used in the project to produce EV compliant 99.5% %
high purity manganese sulphate monohydrate (HPMSM) samples. Upon conclusion of the project,
slated for the end of 2023’s first quarter, Manganese X will distribute the HPMSM samples to EV
and cathode makers and OEMs; a growing number of companies have already requested
samples to tour the pilot plant project.
The manganese contained in the samples is sourced from the Company’s Battery Hill Project in
New Brunswick, Canada which is one of the largest manganese deposits in North America. The
Company released a robust economic PEA last year

and is in process of preparing for Battery Hill’s Prefeasibility Study, slated to be commenced in
2023’s third quarter.
Manganese is already a dominant component used in steel production and because of th at
industry's steady growth, manganese remains as one of the most widely used minerals in the
world. On the technology side, EV batteries, off-the-grid power systems, and other energy storage
applications will require significant amounts of high purity manganese. CPM Group is forecasting
a nine-fold increase by 2030 in demand for high purity manganese, and that this will result in a
large deficit of this critical battery material.
