(TSXV: MN) (FSE: 9SC2) (TRADEGATE: 9SC2) (OTC: SNCGF) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce it has entered into its next phase consisting of an innovative metallurgical project funded by the Company's recent $1.45 million oversubscribed financing.\"This innovative metallurgical project is developing a process in order to produce a manganese concentrate to be utilized for production of Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide which is also known as EMD. EMD is a high value manganese product which is utilized within various applications especially for lithium ion battery cathode material for electric vehicles. Manganese is the critical link in the lithium ion storage chain\" stated Martin Kepman, CEO and Director of Manganese X Energy. \"The reason we refer to it as innovative is that the Company is focused on producing a cost effective, environmentally friendly concentrate for the lithium ion battery market which is currently in high demand within the North American.\"In order to expedite our metallurgical project, Manganese X Energy has recently sent two batches of core samples from our Iron Ore Hill zone to SGS. This renowned Lakefield Ontario based laboratory has begun QemScan testing which is an acronym for \"Quantitative Evaluation of Minerals by Scanning Electron Microscopy\". SGS will also undertake chemical analysis of the samples; this will enable the Company to measure in microns the various percentages of other minerals present on its property. We anticipate from SGS the QemScan test results within the next two weeks. With the commencement of QuemScan testing, Manganese X Energy's metallurgical team will begin to assess the viability of integrating and upgrading specific processes such as floatation, gravity, magnetic and electrostatic separations, as well as, ore sorting techniques to produce high grade manganese concentrate while separating other minerals efficiently. In addition, Manganese X Energy will be sending additional core samples from our Sharpe Farm and Moody Hill areas of our Houlton Woodstock Property in order to determine which mineralized zone of our three mineral bodies will be the most efficient and viable to process. In conjunction with the ongoing advancement of our QemScan...
