Reaugh, President and Chief Executive Officer of American Manganese Inc. (“American Manganese” or “AMY” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce the results of rock sampling on the Lonnie mineral claims located on Granite Creek, south east of Manson Creek in north central British Columbia. The Lonnie claims feature rare earth element (REE) and niobium bearing mineralization hosted in carbonatite intrusive sills. Carbonatite is associated with gossanous weathering, aegirine sovite, muscovite, phlogopite, magnetite, ilmenite, apatite, calcite, with trace amounts of pyrochlore, pyrrhotite, arfvedsonite, and zircon. Carbonatite is also spatially associated with minor syenitic, granitic, monzo-dioritic (alkaline) composition pegmatite and aplite dyke/sills.The table below shows the highlights of fieldwork carried out by the Company in May 2019. Out of the 39 rock chips samples, 11 are listed below (based on data provided by ALS Canada Ltd) with geochemical analysis certificates VA19127292 (39 rock, ME-MS41), VA19142291 (11 rock, ME-MS61r), VA19170851 (10 rock, ME-MS85), & VA19177083 (7 rock, ME-XRF10):Note: TREE + Y are the addition of all parts per million (ppm) values for rare earth elements lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium, and yttrium.Of the 11 rock samples listed, 7 samples average 0.42% Nb equivalent to 0.55% Nb2O5, and 5 samples average 0.31% TREE + Y. Lonnie rock chip samples that contain elevated Nb-REE correlate with above average values of Ca, P, K, Fe, Mn, Ba, Rb, & Sr, and weakly correlate with elevated Zr, Mo, & Ag values. The rock chip samples with elevated Nb-REE values are located next to the Kennecott 1955 trench sites where carbonatite hosted Ce, La, Nb, Nd, Pr, Y geochemical values occur over a strike length of 700 meters. Management is encouraged by the Lonnie rock chip geochemical analysis, and follow-up m...
