American Manganese Inc. (TSXV:AMY; PINKS:AMYZF;FRANK:2AM) is expanding on the previously announced (Oct. 4, 2016) commencement of work under the reagent optimization and locked cycle scoping study proposal from Kemetco Research Inc.
The major tasks covered by this work program include:
Optimization testing for lithium cobalt chemistry, including:

  • -Leaching tests to optimize reagent usage
  • -Optimization of product recovery
  • -Solid-liquid separation and washing tests on recovered products
  • -Integrate efficient water recovery technology
  • -Reformulation and characterization of products to reformulate cathode materials, and produce working coin cell rechargeable batteries.
  • -Proof of concept of other lithium ion chemistries (lithium nickel manganese cobalt; nickel cobalt aluminum), including leaching and precipitation tests to understand level of extractions that are achievable with more complex chemistries.

Locked cycle testing to quantify the increased recoveries of cobalt and lithium associated with solution recycling.
“The approved work program is scheduled for completion by the end of March 2017, with the final report delivered by the end of April. The approved budget is just under $130,000 and is fully funded from the Company’s treasury,” says Mr. Reaugh. The Company will be reporting on the progress steps when received from Kemetco Research Inc.
