American Manganese Inc. (TSXV:AMY,FWB:2AM) announced progress on the Company’s research on expanding the patent pending hydrometallurgical manganese recovery process to produce improved manganese dioxide product for use in rechargeable lithium ion batteries.
As quoted in the press release:
Recent laboratory tests have produced Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide (EMD) and Chemical Manganese Dioxide (CMD) products of high quality. These products were produced from leaching the Artillery Peak, Arizona mineralized samples and their subsequent purification and elecrowinning to produce EMD or chemical oxidation to produce CMD.
American Manganese President and Chief Executive Officer Larry Reaugh said:
“These initial results are very encouraging as the hydrometallurgical process developed by Kemetco provides a significant opportunity for the production of a high value product for use in rechargeable lithium ion batteries and represents another market with very high growth potential. While the Company’s primary focus is electrolytic manganese metal (EMM), we are going to aggressively pursue the on-going research program that is required to fully develop this extremely attractive potential opportunity. We have forwarded these results to interested potential off-takers and/or strategic partners.”
