Manganese X Subsidiary and JV Partner, PureBiotic AIR® Provide

Year-End Update on the Progress of Regulatory and Certification

Registrations

Montréal, Québec, Canada, January 13 , 2022, Manganese X Energy

Corp. (TSXV: MN) (FSE: 9SC) (OTCQB: MNXXF) (“Manganese X”,

“MN”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned

subsidiary, Disruptive Battery Corp. (DBC) in conjunction with its US JV Partner,

PureBioticAIR, Inc. (“PureBiotic”) continues to advance the certification and

regulatory registrations of its products.

Work also progressed on the deconstruction of biofilm, which is calculated by

the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to be a factor in 80 per cent of all

infections. The deconstruction of biofilm reduces the risk of infection from

pathogenic bacteria and viruses, including SARS -CoV-2 virus, cause of the

COVID-19 Pandemic.

Current Regulatory Registrations:

The Company has employed additional resources to expedite the number of

Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

and other registrations and certifications currently in progress. PureBiotic is also

continuing to expand the Company’s Trade Mark registr ations to countries

around the World. The Company’s Trade Mark has already been granted in the

Americas, Europe and China.

This important work is coordinated by the CEO of PureBiotic AIR ®, Lino G

Morris, along with the Company’s regulatory attorney, K. Steinman, Esq.. Mr.

Steinman formerly worked for the US Government for years in Washington, DC,

in the regulatory field and has been the Company’s legal lead in these matters

for some time. Mr. Steinman handles all the domestic and international

trademark registrations for the Company and has been working with both the

EPA and FDA on the Company’s new registrations. In Canada, the Company

has also been working with Dicentra Regulatory Consultants, a highly respected

Toronto based agency, initially for work with Health Canada, but which also has

a great deal of expertise with the FDA. For specialized situations, the Company

has several other Washington based agencies, all coordinated by Mr. Steinman

to expedite registrations.

The Company’s current FDA registration for its PureBiotic ® Solution is of

immediate interest because of the expected speed to completion. This specific

registration will increase the Company ’s market expansion opportunities

and demonstrate the benefits of the Company’s products. The comb ination of

the EPA and FDA agencies in the USA, as well as for markets around the world,

is of great importance to the Company and will provide a number of extremely

significant factors that will be covered in a products report.

It should also be noted that several other registrations have already been

obtained by the Company, including NFS approval and registration for a number

of products. The NSF approval assures consumers and regulators that the

certified products have been ri gorously tested to comply with all standards

required. In addition to other certifications and registrations normally listed on

the Company’s product labels, the Company also had previously won Green

Seal Certification for a number of the Company’s original products and with its

new trademarked name will be re-certifying a number of its products as soon

as its new USA production facility is in operation.

Martin Kepman, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We continue to evolve

our misting solution for the mitigation of pathogens, including COVID -19.

Research is showing positive efficacy. We are now moving towards additional

certifications, including applying for FDA approval."

The Company is not making any express or implied claim that it has developed

a COVID-19 air management solution at this time.
