[{"type":"text","content":"American Manganese's Wenden Stockpile Testing Project is Underway and on SchedulePublication in Journal of the Electrochemical Society Ranks in the Top 5% of all 16.5 Million Research Outputs Tracked by AltmetricSURREY, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 12, 2021 / American Manganese Inc. (TSXV:AMY)(OTC PINK:AMYZF)(FRA:2AM)(\"AMY\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that the Wenden Stockpile testing project, funded by the United States Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), is underway and on schedule. At the end of December 2020, approximately 550 pounds of representative stockpile surface samples were collected from the National Defense Stockpile in Wenden, Arizona and received in Richmond, BC by American Manganese's contract R&D lab, Kemetco Research.The material from the Wenden Stockpile is comprised of different styles of mineralization, which are marked and tagged by their source location for detailed analysis. Using AMY's patented manganese recovery process (US Patent No. 8,460,631), the initial testing steps include assaying and varying size reductions of the sample material to analyze leach conditions and establish realistic limits for selective manganese extraction and recovery. Testing is to be conducted on the individual samples as well as a master blend to determine the optimal processing conditions.In 2013, American Manganese tested two Wenden Stockpile samples with results indicating that the Wenden material is receptive to treatment with American Manganese's patented process and flowsheet, initially developed for Artillery Peak's low-grade manganese resources. The 2013 testing recommended confirmatory measurements, and a larger selection of samples, as outlined in the program that will take place under the DLA grant. The Company believes the higher-grade Wenden stockpile material could potentially have smaller equipment footprint requirements and lower operating costs than the flowsheet developed for the Artillery Peak low-grade manganese resources.Representative Samples from Wenden National Defense Stockpile in ArizonaSince the development of American Manganese's patented process for efficient recovery of manganese from lower grade resources, the manganese market has transformed with the rapid commercialization of electric vehicles.
