In This Article:
Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - January 17, 2024) - Manganese X Energy Corp. (TSXV: MN) (FSE: 9SC) (TRADEGATE: 9SC) (OTCQB: MNXXF) (the "Company" or "Manganese X") celebrates significant milestones in 2023, marking notable progress for the Battery Hill manganese project near Woodstock, New Brunswick.
The Company progresses towards becoming the first publicly traded mining company in Canada and the US to commercialize high-purity EV-compliant manganese.
Martin Kepman, CEO of Manganese X, shares his future outlook: "As we navigate the dynamic landscape of EV investments, the Canadian government's ambitious transition plan sets a compelling stage. The infusion of $35 billion into significant EV battery production facilities further underscores the industry's momentum. Research firm BloombergNEF's recognition of manganese's pivotal role in EV battery cathode chemistries affirms our strategic focus.
"Looking ahead, the anticipated shortage of high-purity manganese by 2030 places Manganese X at the forefront. We stand poised to address this challenge, positioning ourselves as a major supplier to the burgeoning North American EV and energy storage supply chain. This aligns seamlessly with our commitment to drive innovation and contribute significantly to the sustainable evolution of the electric vehicle sector."
