MANGANESE X FILES FOR NON-PROVISIONAL PATENT PROTECTION ON ITS HIGH PURITY EV MANGANESE TECHNOLOGY

Montreal, Quebec. (Newsfile Corp. - October 5th, 2023) Manganese X Energy Corp. (TSXV: MN) (FSE: 9SC) (TRADEGATE: 9SC) (OTCQB: MNXXF) (the “Company” or “Manganese X”) is pleased to announce that it has filed for a non-provisional (final) U.S. Patent protection on its ground-breaking manganese purification technology of processing a manganese carbonate ore into EV (Electric Vehicle) compliant High Purity Manganese Sulfate Monohydrate (HPMSM).

The non-provisional patent application involves an in-depth review of the technology from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), providing full patent protection after acceptance, as well as permitting the Company to license its technology.

Manganese X’s purification technology was developed in collaboration with metallurgical research company Kemetco Research Inc., located in Richmond, BC.

Manganese X CEO Martin Kepman said, “These are exciting times for Manganese X as we progress to meet the battery needs and sophisticated requirements of EV manufacturers. We’ve developed a unique and efficient manganese purification process without using the highly toxic compound selenium, unlike other HPMSM producers who use selenium to reduce processing costs. Plus, we are continuing to advance our Battery Hill mining project located in New Brunswick, which notably contains one of the largest manganese carbonate deposits in North America.”

He continued, “Our timing is excellent as EV car manufacturers ramp up their efforts to secure long term supplies of high purity manganese. Manganese is consistently in the news as a battery chemistry of choice. Not only is it less expensive to process, manganese provides the EV battery with greater energy density and rechargeability, as well as a longer life cycle.”
