Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - August 12, 2025) - Manganese X Energy Corp. (TSXV: MN) (FSE: 9SC) (TRADEGATE: 9SC) (OTCQB: MNXXF) (the \"Company\" or \"Manganese X\") is pleased to announce highly positive Phase 2 ore-sorting results, demonstrating an 80% increase in mill feed grade in its large scale Battery Hill pilot program, managed by ABH Engineering.An 80% increase in mill feed grade means that, after ore-sorting, the material sent to the mill contains 80% more manganese per tonne than the original mined material.The ore-sorting program was performed at RADOS Technologies lab in South Africa where over 400kg of rock from the Company's Battery Hill manganese deposit near Woodstock, New Brunswick, was processed. The sample was split into two size fractions and tested using full-scale production equipment. Through ore sorting, waste rock was effectively removed, pre-concentrating the rock before further processing. This ore-sorting process is also projected to deliver significant capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating cost (OPEX) savings, potentially supporting a strong outcome in the Company's upcoming PFS.Results confirm that Battery Hill material is highly amenable to ore-sorting, enabling substantial improvements in feed grade while providing significant potential capital and operating costs savings. The study was conducted in preparation for the Company's PFS, scheduled to commence in Q3 2025. Manganese X is having ongoing discussions with lead consultants regarding the integration of ore-sorting into the Battery Hill PFS program. CEO Martin Kepman commented, \"We are highly encouraged by the results of this large-scale pilot program, which confirm the economic potential of the or...
