Manganese X Receives Favorable Phase Two Project
Metallurgical Results from Kemetco Research Inc.: To
Produce Economical Ultra High Grade Battery Material
for the North American Li-Ion and Other Alternative
Energy Markets
Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - June 23, 2020) -
Manganese X Energy Corp. (TSXV: MN) (FSE: 9SC2)
(TRADEGATE: 9SC2) (OTC Pink: SNCGF) ("Manganese X"
or the
"Company")
is pleased to announce favourable
metallurgical results from Kemetco Research Inc. ("Kemetco") phase two flow sheet development process that demonstrated
greater efficiency and improved economics.
We successfully completed phase one yielding manganese sulphate with a purity exceeding 99.95% and low levels of base and
alkali metals using material from our Battery Hill property. This has been a transformational achievement demonstrating our
resource material can be compliant with EV and other requirements.
Phase Two metallurgical bulk tests are underway and results are very encouraging as we continued to advance the development
of a workable extraction process and flow sheet. We are also investigating the potential to reduce purification steps, which if
successful could lead to major cost benefits.
The company, together with Kemetco, is developing a commercializable flow sheet in order to produce ultra-high-purity battery-
grade manganese products for the growing electric vehicle and energy storage sectors, using the ethical and sustainable North
American mineralization at Battery Hill.

"The demand for energy storage is too great for one technology to satisfy
it, so we're looking for environmentally friendly, safe, inexpensive alternatives," said Jason Croy, a physicist in Argonne's
Chemical Sciences and Engineering division. "Manganese is a good option for that."
Martin Kepman, CEO of Manganese X stated, "Timing could not be better for showcasing manganese as it is certainly leading
the technology
revolution in the battery space. We continue to be excited by the progress of Kemetco in their cost reduction
development of our flow sheet. Further, validation from The U.S. Department of Energy Argonne National Laboratory use of
manganese for energy storage proves we are on the right path and we have the necessary assets for shareholder value
creation."
