Kachan & Co. Assesses American Manganese’s Hydrometallurgical Process

A new independent report entitled “American Manganese’s Clean Extraction Process” and authored by cleantech analysis firm Kachan & Co. outlines the hydrometallurgical process and assesses the probability of American Manganese (TSXV:AMY) becoming the lowest cost producer of electrolytic manganese metal worldwide.

“On paper and in pilot, American Manganese’s hydrometallurgical process is promising,” said Dallas Kachan, Managing Partner, Kachan & Co. “The near closed loop nature of the process appears to result in high grade electrolytic manganese metal with little environmental impact and at a low cost. Proving the process at scale in the field will be the company’s biggest challenge, but early indications are encouraging.”

American Manganese President and CEO Larry Reaugh, said:

“Kachan was commissioned to do an independent assessment of our hydrometallurgical process. Its findings illustrate how American Manganese has developed one of the most efficient models of mining low-grade manganese ore and producing low cost, high grade electrolytic manganese metal,”
