Ferro-alloys.com:American Manganese Corporation is pleased to announce that the Wendeng inventory test project funded by the US Defense Logistics Agency is underway. At the end of December 2020, approximately 550 pounds of representative inventory surface samples were collected from the defense inventory in Wenden, Arizona, USA, and were collected from Richmond, British Columbia by the American Manganese Industry’s Contract R&D Laboratory, Kemco Research Institute .

The materials in the Wendeng storage depot consist of different types of mineralization, which are marked by their source location for detailed analysis. Using AMY's patented manganese recovery process (US Patent No. 8,460,631), the initial test steps include analyzing and changing the size reduction rate of sample materials to analyze leaching conditions and establish practical limits for selective manganese extraction and recovery. Testing should be performed on individual samples and premixes to determine the best processing conditions.

In 2013, American Manganese Company tested two Wendeng storage samples, and the results showed that Wendeng material can be processed by American Manganese Company's patented process and process, which was originally developed for the low-grade manganese resources of Artillery Mountain. The 2013 test recommended confirmatory measurements, as well as a wider range of sample selections, as outlined in a project funded by the US Defense Logistics Agency. The company believes that higher-grade Wendeng inventory materials may have smaller equipment footprint requirements and lower operating costs, and lower-grade manganese resource development processes than Artillery Peak.

Since the American Manganese Corporation developed a patented process for efficiently recovering manganese from low-grade resources, the manganese market has changed with the rapid commercialization of electric vehicles. Roskil's manganese market report predicts that as the penetration rate of the electric vehicle market increases, the demand for manganese sulfate from lithium-ion batteries will double in the next ten years.

American Manganese Corporation is also pleased to provide an update on the detailed technical paper, which is an experimental study on the recycling of cathode materials for spent lithium-ion batteries published in the peer-reviewed "Journal of the Electrochemical Society"-IOPscience. This technical paper describes the experimental work leading the development of RecycLiCo™ and the company's process of recovering valuable and critical metals from waste lithium-ion battery cathode materials. Among all 16,580,141 research results tracked by altimetry, this technical paper ranks in the top 5%. The high attention score is a high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention a publication receives.

"The peer review is a good illustration of the results achieved by our patented process," said Larry Reaugh, President and CEO of American Manganese. "Ranked in the 97th percentile or top 5% of 16,580,141 research results, this should be the pride of our management, shareholders, directors and consultants."
