American Manganese Inc. Reports Significant Rare Earth Values on Rocher Deboule Cu-Au-Ag Project American Manganese Inc. reported Vent Zone IP Geophysics Identifies High Chargeability and coincident and Significant Rare Earth Values on Rocher Deboule Cu-Au-Ag Project: The Vent Zone alteration consists of chlorite-quartz-carbonate-garnet-clay hosted in andesitic flows/tuffs (porphyritic) of Upper Cretaceous Kasalka Group Brian Boru Formation. SGH (spatiotemporal geochemical hydrocarbon) surveys carried out in 2017 resulted in redox cell (6.0 out of 6.0 rating), and copper-gold anomalous zones (5.0 out of 6.0 rating) that coincide with the redox cell anomaly. In 2021, pole-dipole array IP Geophysics on "Vent Zone" target identified elevated chargeability (>30 mV/V), which correlates with the redox-cell soil hydrocarbon anomaly. Widespread, disseminated sulphides (mostly fine grain pyrite) are present in the portions of the Vent Zone. IP survey high chargeability and coincident low resistivity on west portion of grid area are interpreted extent of Vent Zone. In the central part of the IP survey area, relatively strong chargeability and low resistivity increases at depths of approximately 100-200 meters (328-656 feet). The Vent Zone has positive Cu-Au-Ag-Co-REE soil geochemical anomalies and is interpreted as an Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) occurrence. Rock chip sample geochemical analysis results indicate massive and semi-massive chalcopyrite-pyrite mineralization (with minor bornite and molybdenite) contain significant rare earth elements (REE elements Ce- La-Nd-Pr are listed above). The Rocher Mine No 2 & 4 Veins are considered primarily as vein type (tabular shaped) copper resources accompanied by silver, gold and rare earth element bearing minerals. The distribution of rare earth elements (La-Ce-Sc-Y-Pr-Nd-Pm-Sm-Eu-Gd-Tb- Dy-Ho-Er-Tm-Yb-Lu) are associated with silicified fault zones that have magnetite and massive sulphide. Sulphides & REE do not correlate well. It is unclear whether rare earthbearing minerals are associated with sulphide minerals or re-distributed (re-mobilized) from earlier geological (e.g., pegmatitic phase) events, or a combination of both. Rare earth elements weakly correlate with increased P, and U/Th. Note- U values ranging between 1.1-19.7 ppm uranium and Th values ranging between 0.12-13.9 ppm thorium are well below threshold values of 100 ppm U. The two main deposit types are observed at the Rocher Mine No 4 & 2 Veins: EARLY FORMING POLYMETALLIC VEIN/BRECCIA: semi-massive and coarse grain (blebby) chalcopyrite with increased magnetite-REE bearing mineralization is related to elevated Cu-Au-Ag-REE in `polymetallic' fissure veins/breccias developed in pegmatitic/aplitic phases of early forming intrusions. LATE FORMING SUB-VOLCANIC VEIN/BRECCIA: massive chalcopyrite, minor bornite-tetrahedrite- arsenopyrite- sphalerite-argentiferous galena bearing mineralization is related to elevated Cu-Ag-As-Sb in `sub-volcanic' fissure veins/breccias. A drill program is planned on the Rocher Mine 2 & 4 Veins and Vent Zones for 2022. Aankondiging • Feb 18
American Manganese Provides Progress Update on Demonstration Plant for Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling American Manganese Inc. provided a progress update on the demonstration plant project in Greater Vancouver, Canada that is nearing operational readiness status. Recycling equipment for the demonstration plant is in place, and the commissioning schedule is on pace, with remaining assembly work to include mounting tank reactors, connecting the ventilation system, and wiring power to equipment. Individual equipment testing is intended to ensure all systems and components are powered and water-tested according to operational requirements before full-scale processing of lithium-ion battery scrap. Approximately 3,500kg of lithium-ion battery cathode scrap has been received as initial feedstock for the 500 kg/day demonstration plant. The cathode scrap is a lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt composition that is representative of the modern cathode materials used in electric vehicle batteries and potential near-term feedstock supplies. The cathode scrap feedstock is to be used to validate the demonstration plant's preliminary real-world continuous operating efficiencies and is expected to generate a significant amount of recycled lithium, nickel, manganese, and cobalt products for potential material qualification with interested third parties.After completing project milestones for the initial U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) awarded project, American Manganese's scoping study results indicated areas that would benefit from additional studies to achieve commercial-scale operation near the Wenden Stockpile material. As a result, and while American Manganese actively explored continued collaboration on advanced materials reclamation with the DLA, the DLA has notified American Manganese that they will not move forward with the Company's Phase 2 Technical Proposal regarding the Wenden Stockpile.

American Manganese and Its Independent R&D Contractor Kemetco Research Inc. Successfully Produces Nmc-532 Cathode Precursor from Recycled Nmc Cathode Waste American Manganese Inc., and its independent R&D contractor Kemetco Research Inc. ("Kemetco") reported the successful production of NMC-532 cathode precursor from recycled NMC (lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide) cathode waste. The number designation following NMC indicates the ratio of nickel, manganese, and cobalt contained (i.e. the NMC-532 ratio is 50% nickel, 30% manganese, and 20% cobalt). American Manganese has also planned future test work to produce NMC-622 and NMC-811 cathode precursor materials. The improved flexibility of the RecycLiCoTM direct recycling process demonstrates the potential to compress traditional lithium-ion battery supply chain into one closed-loop process: 1. Leach NMC cathode waste to produce a pregnant leach solution (PLS) that contains lithium, nickel, manganese, and cobalt. 2. Adjust the ratio of cathode metals in the PLS to the desired composition (e.g. NMC-532). 3. Produce cathode precursor directly from the adjusted PLS. With up to 100% cathode material recovery and high-quality cathode precursor production, American Manganese believes that the RecycLiCoTM patented process offers a more practical, cost-effective, and efficient solution for achieving a circular economy, relative to competing recycling technologies that undergo multiple steps to produce lower-value intermediate products that require additional refining before production into cathode precursor material. At present, cathode precursor production is dominated by a few geographical locations, and as highlighted in the White House's recent `100-Day Battery Supply Chain Review': The RecycLiCoTM process could offer a complete solution that includes recycling and cathode precursor production in one closed-loop process. The White House supply chain report suggests policy initiatives that could encourage the vertical integration of RecycLiCoTM alongside Gigafactories, where production waste accounts for at least 10% of a Gigafactory's production capacity - a ready source of recycling feedstock for the AMY process.

American Manganese Inc and Kemetco Research Inc to Report the Production of Nm American Manganese Inc. and its independent R&D contractor Kemetco Research Inc. to report the production of NMC (lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide) cathode precursor material directly from recycled NMC cathode waste, using the RecycLiCoTM patented process. The RecycLiCoTM product shares the same high-quality technical specifications - such as particle morphology, size, and distribution - found in conventional lithium-ion battery cathode precursor materials. Moreover, American Manganese intends to enhance the processing flexibility of the RecycLiCoTM process by adjusting the ratio of leached metals before the end cathode precursor product is made. By adjusting the ratio of the leached metals, it would give RecycLiCoTM the ability to recycle older cathode chemistries, such as NMC-111, and transform the end-product into modern cathode chemistries, such as NMC-622 or NMC-811, in one closed-loop process. The Company will test this concept in its next production batch. Aankondiging • May 22

American Manganese Inc. Achieves 99% Manganese Extraction for U.S. Defense Logistics Agency Wenden Stockpile Project American Manganese Inc. announced positive manganese extraction results for the company's Wenden Stockpile reclamation and advanced material processing bench-scale project, funded by the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Following a series of bench-scale tests to determine optimal process conditions, leach tests using AMY's patented manganese process achieved up to 99% extraction of manganese. American Manganese's most recent results are a positive initial step within the complete scope of the DLA project, aiming to provide a proof of concept for treating Wenden Stockpile material to efficiently produce electrolytic manganese metal (EMM). Additional bench-scale tests and reports will include unit operations for solid-liquid separation, tailings characterization, manganese carbonate precipitation, and EMM testing. Bench-scale tests are used to define suitable unit operations and develop a commercially viable flow sheet that could potentially produce a strategic and domestic supply of EMM from the U.S. National Defense Stockpile in Wenden, Arizona, which consists of manganese ore mined in the 1950s and 1960s. With consideration to a future advanced material processing facility, bench-scale testing provides process flow sheet improvements that could potentially reduce equipment footprint requirements and operating costs.

American Manganese Inc. Reports Initial Leach Results for U.S. Defense Logistics Agency Wenden Stockpile Project American Manganese Inc. reported initial leach test results on manganese samples collected from the U.S. National Defense Stockpile in Wenden, Arizona, under a grant from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Using AMY's patented manganese process (US Patent No. 8,460,631), the leach test results achieved encouraging manganese extraction rates of up to 88%. As announced in the company's January 12, 2021 press release, the 14 representative samples (550 pounds) collected from the Wenden Stockpile were blended into a master composite and crushed into various material sizes for leach testing. Leach tests were conducted on the different crush sizes to establish optimal process conditions, in addition to scale-up considerations relevant to a potential advanced material processing plant at the 322,000 metric ton Wenden Stockpile. The laboratory testing campaign's next step is to conduct leach tests using the determined optimal leach conditions on each of the 14 individual representative samples, with a focus on reducing the leach reagent consumption, before advancing to tailings characterization, manganese carbonate precipitation, and electrolytic manganese metal (EMM) testing. A letter released by Congressman Paul Gosar (R-AZ) to the U.S. Department of Interior put the Wenden Stockpile work in its larger strategic context, stating that an advanced manganese material processing facility at Wenden could open prospects to U.S.-produced EMM, produce a reliable source of EMM for the DLA/National Defense Stockpile, end the U.S.'s current 100% manganese import-dependency, and reduce U.S. reliance on China in the advanced manganese supply chain (click here to read Congressman Gosar's letter). Under the grant awarded on October 21, 2020 by the Defense Logistics Agency, American Manganese's proposed timeline to complete the laboratory testing campaign is anticipated to take 47 weeks.

American Manganese Inc. Prepares Cathode Reactor for First Production American Manganese Inc. announced that the Company's specialized cathode reactor is being prepared to produce its first test batch of cathode precursor materials. American Manganese acquired the specialized reactor for cathode precursor production, which is a valuable input for lithium-ion battery manufacturing. The reactor is capable of producing modern cathode materials such as lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide (NMC) and lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminum oxide (NCA), both of which are commonly used in electric vehicle batteries. To achieve the modern cathode material's high-quality standards and to ensure testing conditions are not contaminated, AMY has prepared a specialized and controlled testing area for the reactor. The reactor will first undergo water testing before introducing the purified NMC and NCA leach solutions that were produced during the RecycLiCoTM pilot plant's patented leach
stages. American Manganese will report results of the independent analytical testing performed on the test batch and will also prepare samples of the produced NMC and NCA cathode precursor for independent performance validation by all interested third-party organizations. The National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) has provided support and funding for this technical feasibility project, formally known as Synthesis of Cathode Material Precursors from Recycled Battery Scrap.

American Manganese Inc. Announces the Launch of Project Focused on Advancing the Company's Lithium-Ion Cathode Recycling Technology with Support from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program American Manganese Inc. announced the launch of a project focused on advancing the Company's lithium-ion cathode recycling technology (RecycLiCoTM) with support from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP). NRC IRAP will provide advisory services and conditional funding to support American Manganese's research and development project on the Synthesis of Cathode Material Precursors from Recycled Battery Scrap between November 4, 2020 and March 31, 2021. The main objective of the project is to conduct a technical feasibility study on the synthesis of cathode material precursors with specific particle parameters. American Manganese also acquired a specialized cathode precipitation reactor to achieve the Company's objective in producing high-value final cathode products with the least amount of processing steps, as discussed in the November 6, 2020 news release. Cathode material used in the electric vehicles industry such as, lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) and lithium cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA) have strict material quality parameters. The production of these modern cathodes from raw materials is a highly specialized and energy-demanding process, but the successful production of these materials is a significant value-added step. Therefore, it is the goal of this project to enable American Manganese's process to efficiently and directly recycle cathode scrap material into cathode material precursor to maximize the value of the recycled product.
