American manganese started out 15 yrs ago as a mine complex for strategic minerals
on average it takes 16 years for a new mine to be approved
Keep on eye on this one
Big $$$ play by this summer
“The Korean cathode manufacturer reported that the battery cell using RecycLiCo’s recycled-upcycled NMC811 (nickel manganese cobalt oxide) precursor outperformed other recycled cathode precursor materials and performed at the level of commercial NMC811 precursor material. RecycLiCo’s commercial battery-quality precursor was produced directly from battery production scrap and black mass samples using the Company’s novel closed-loop RecycLiCo process.”

SURREY, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 20, 2022 / American Manganese Inc (TSXV:AMY)(OTCQB:AMYZF)(FSE:2AM) ("Company"), doing business as RecycLiCo Battery Materials, a pioneer in advanced lithium-ion battery recycling and upcycling, and its R&D partner Kemetco Research Inc. ("Kemetco"), are pleased to announce that the leach section of its technology defining demonstration plant project has achieved over 99% extraction of lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese from lithium-ion battery production scrap.
During the demonstration plant's leach stage testing, various operating parameters were investigated to determine the optimal conditions and collect data for ongoing commercial plant design and planning. Analysis of a range of leach data showed that the successful extraction results were achieved.
"I'm thrilled with the limits we have been able to push during this pivotal step of our demonstration plant project as it is core to our patented process and a limiting factor that defines the commercial design capacity," commented Zarko Meseldzija, CTO and Director of American Manganese. "The demonstration plant's growing number of achievements provides reliable technical data for third-party due diligence and checks many boxes regarding efficiency, capacity, and practicality that engages discussions regarding bespoke commercialization plans and influences successful commercial partnerships."
To date, the demonstration plant has leached a few metric tons worth of lithium-ion battery production scrap, the primary source of recyclable materials. The scrap material comes from losses in the battery cell manufacturing process due to incompliant quality. According to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, battery scrap will account for 78% of the pool of recyclable materials in 2025 and remain a significant recyclable source beyond 2030.
Mr. Meseldzija added, "Given the scrap's intrinsic value, it can be viewed as a resource instead of waste material, and the battery manufacturers will ultimately dictate the supply of their scrap steams. However, with the increasing value and shortage of battery materials, battery manufacturers have a stronger incentive to recycle in-house. Integrating our patented process alongside battery production scrap sources could enable battery manufacturers to build an internal closed-loop supply chain that recovers scrap materials and introduces upcycled material back into battery re-manufacturing."

AMERICAN MANGANESE PROVIDES PROGRESS UPDATE ON DEMONSTRATION PLANT FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERY RECYCLING
American Manganese Inc. and its independent research and development contractor Kemetco Research Inc. have provided a progress update on the demonstration plant project in Greater Vancouver, Canada, that is nearing operational readiness status.
Recycling equipment for the demonstration plant is in place, and the commissioning schedule is on pace, with remaining assembly work to include mounting tank reactors, connecting the ventilation system and wiring power to equipment. Individual equipment testing is intended to ensure all systems and components are powered and water-tested according to operational requirements before full-scale processing of lithium-ion battery scrap.
Approximately 3,500 kilograms of lithium-ion battery cathode scrap has been received as initial feedstock for the 500 kg per day demonstration plant. The cathode scrap is a lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt composition that is representative of the modern cathode materials used in electric vehicle batteries and potential near-term feedstock supplies. The cathode scrap feedstock is to be used to validate the demonstration plant's preliminary real-world continuous operating efficiencies and is expected to generate a significant amount of recycled lithium, nickel, manganese and cobalt products for potential material qualification with interested third parties.
"I'm extremely pleased with the great progress in our demonstration plant," said Larry Reaugh, president and chief executive officer of American Manganese. "It's a testament to everyone on our team working tirelessly to ensure the success of the project. Our structured approach from initial concept, lab testing, piloting and modelling gives us confidence in our scaled-up selection of equipment and planned testing procedures."
After completing project milestones for the initial U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)-awarded project, American Manganese's scoping study results indicated areas that would benefit from additional studies to achieve commercial-scale operation near the Wenden stockpile material. As a result, and while American Manganese actively explored continued collaboration on advanced materials reclamation with the DLA, the DLA has notified American Manganese that it will not move forward with the company's phase 2 technical proposal regarding the Wenden stockpile.
Mr. Reaugh commented: "I'm disappointed that following the successful completion of our strategic materials grant, the DLA elected not to undertake our follow-on proposal. We continue to see value in processing the Wenden stockpile material and remain in ongoing discussions with the DLA on ways that AMY's patented process can provide a potential domestic supply of manganese in the U.S."
