    New Pentagon Report Highlights Strategic Need for Battery Materials Targeted by American Manganese

    Mr. Daniel McGroarty, American Manganese Inc. (TSXV:AMY; OTC US:AMYZF;FSE:2AM)’s Advisory Board Member commented today on the issuance of a new U.S. Government report – conducted in response to Presidential Executive Order 13806 (July 21, 2017) – on the condition of the U.S. Defense Industrial Base.

    Mr. Daniel McGroarty, American Manganese Inc. (TSXV:AMY; OTC US:AMYZF;FSE:2AM)’s Advisory Board Member commented today on the issuance of a new U.S. Government report – conducted in response to Presidential Executive Order 13806 (July 21, 2017) – on the condition of the U.S. Defense Industrial Base. The Pentagon study ” Assessing and Strengthening the Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base and Supply Chain Resiliency of the United States” raises concerns about single-points-of-failure in U.S. defense supply chains, including situations where timely access to a key critical material can interrupt or delay weapons program development, or result in an absence of replacement parts that affect force readiness.

    According to the report, “foreign dependencies on essential raw minerals (e.g., lithium) may potentially impact the rechargeable and non-rechargeable battery supply chain.”

    “This is a clear recognition on the U.S. Government’s part that adequate supply of critical materials is as essential for national security as it is for advanced manufacturing in the commercial economy,” said Larry Reaugh, CEO of American Manganese. “The new Pentagon report makes clear the importance of lithium-ion battery materials, for which the U.S. is currently between 50 and 100% import-dependent. That puts a premium on processes like ours to recover these critical minerals from spent batteries and industrial scrap.”

    The Pentagon report directs the Secretary of Defense to expand “direct investment” in the lower tiers of the Defense Industrial Base to “mitigate single-points-of-failure,” and to “diversify away from complete dependency on sources of supply in politically unstable countries who may cut off U.S. access.”

    Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Interior released a list of Critical Minerals, working in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Defense. AMY’s patented recovery process targets lithium, manganese and cobalt, all three of which are on the U.S. Critical Minerals List. Of the nine minerals on the Critical Metal List, lithium, cobalt and manganese not only meet the industrial indicators used to compile the list but the defense criticality indicator as well.

    AMY’s U.S. patent application for its recovery process was published on May 17, 2018. The full press release on patent No. WO2018/089595 is available here: PROCESS OF COBALTOUS SULPHATE/DITH-IONATE LIQUORS DERIVED FROM COBALT RESOURCE.
