Manganese X Subsidiary and JV Partner Form

PureBiotic Air Inc. and Expand Testing of

HVAC Air Purification Delivery System for

Mitigation of COVID-19 and Other

Contaminants With the University of

Massachusetts

Montréal, Québec--(Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2020) -

Manganese X Energy Corp. (TSXV: MN)

(FSE: 9SC2) (OTC Pink: MNXXF) ("Manganese X"

or the

"Company")

is pleased to announce that

its wholly owned subsidiary, Disruptive Battery Corp ("DBC"), in conjunction along with its US JV partner,

PureBiotic Air Inc., is expanding testing of its HVAC Air Purification Delivery System for the mitigation of

toxic substances.

This project is headed by Mr. Lino G. Morris, who is making a return to the University of Massachusetts

(UM) Turi Laboratories for the purpose of additional testing and protocols of the PureBiotic HVAC Air

Purification Delivery System.

This, in turn, will provide more research, demonstrating the system's

efficacy for the mitigation of a range of contaminants including COVID-19 on both surface and air.

In addition, Manganese X is pleased to announce it has completed its US based JV incorporation under

the corporate name PureBiotic Air, Inc.

Its production facilities will be based in Orlando, Florida and will

operate under the direction of Mr. Morris.

Martin Kepman, CEO comments, "The Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) will evaluate the

effectiveness and safety of biological and technology alternatives proposed by PureBiotic Air, Inc. for the

mitigation of a wide range of

pathogens, including the Coronavirus as well as a range of contaminants

allergens and infectious diseases.

The purpose of utilizing UM is that their research and testing

laboratory is accepted and recognised by many government agencies and certification organizations.

The lab has a Biological Safety Level classification that covers testing of COVID-19 and other toxic

materials.

Mr. Kepman continued, "For the purpose of this study, UM will also be coordinating with Virginia State

University for some unique aspects of infection control factors which includes biofilm testing.

As well, the

overall testing and coordination for additional restricted materials is expected to include the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other university labs, as needed."

All testing procedures and data will be structured to ensure that all of the data from all parties involved in

the testing is properly documented so as to be suitable for peer review publication.

JV partner, Mr. Morris is making a return for additional testing at the University of Massachusetts TURI

Laboratories at Lowell because of the exceptionally well structured and performed previous research

and testing project he undertook with the Lab to successfully obtain the Green Seal Certification Mark for

his Company's biological solution. This is a universal symbol indicating their product meets the highest

benchmark of both "Green - Environmental Safe".

The company is not making any express or implied claim that it has developed a COVID-19 air

management solution at this time.
