NewsWire -- "Future (NMC) Nickel Manganese
Lithium-ion Battery for a Green Planet Ecosystem." CEO Martin
Kepman
It's imperative to understand the importance of ethically
sourced, high purity Manganese and the technological mining
processes required to extract, refine, purify while optimizing for
maximum yield from a Manganese ore deposit.
Manganese X Energy Corp was founded to be a contributing part of
the global initiatives towards renewable energy and its profitable
business in a new green ecosystem. Manganese is becoming one of the
key building blocks for this modern industrial economy.
When Manganese is added to steel it enhances the steel giving it
a hard-yet-pliable quality, it helps depolarizing dry cell
batteries and to decolorizing glass made green by iron impurities.
It is also a powerful oxidizing agent. It is used in some
fertilizers and is found in multivitamin supplements. One of its
primary uses is as a component in ferromagnetic alloys. The
importance of Manganese exploded with the development of modern
steelmaking technology in the 1860s. As an alloy, it decreases the
brittleness of steel and imparts strength.
Age of the Lithium-ion Batteries
Manganese is a key element in the manufacture of Lithium-ion
batteries with superior storage capacity, safety, and
affordability. Manganese is finding a solid place in the race to
provide advanced battery technology. Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) EV
and Hybrid electric vehicle batteries and Lithium-ion (Li-ion)
batteries are said to form the core that will power the world in
the future. The USP of these batteries is safety, durability, and
adaptability to users' needs, economical, and come with a shorter
recharging time. High grade, high-purity Manganese is the primary
cathode material to build the battery's energy-storing capacity by
increasing its energy density. These NCM (Nickel, Cobalt,
Manganese, andLithium) batteries assure quality performance, with
Cobalt becoming the black sheep of the group. Cobalt's cost of
extraction, along with it's unpredictable combustibility make it a
dangerous element to be mined. It also carries many health risks
for miners who are engaged in the activity and the use of children
as miners in West Africa, these factors make Cobalt less desirable
than it's burgeoning replacement Manganese. As bad as Cobalt is for
the industry, the environment and for human beings, Manganese is
the complete antithesis or polar opposite of Cobalt.
The future of Nickel Manganese Lithium-ion battery power cells
is being developed to be used for renewable energy in consumer
electronics, electric and hybrid electric vehicles, and battery
systems that are used for backup energy storage, electricity
harvested from clean energy produced by solar, wind, and tidal
systems. It is becoming clear that their sourcing, stability,
density giving increased power, capacity and their ability to
travel further and longer will continue to promote their critical
and important role in this new green ecosystem.
Manganese X's Mission
Here is a word from us at Manganese X Energy Corp. Our primary
mission is simple: Advance our Battery Hill project into
production, with the intent of supplying value added materials to
the Lithium-ion battery and other alternative energy industries, as
well as achieving new carbon-friendly more efficient methodologies,
while processing Manganese at a lower competitive cost. We are the
only Manganese company in North America moving towards
commercialization of a Manganese ore mineral deposit. The property
consists of 55 claims covering 1,228 hectares, approximately 5 km
northwest of the town of Woodstock in Carlton County, southwestern
New Brunswick, 7.5 miles from the Maine US-Canadian border.
Mining the Ore
Manganese has been in use by mankind since ancient times. Traces
of it have been found in the pigments used in cave paintings. In
the ancient world through the middle ages,
"Manganese has also long been used in glass-making.
Egyptian and Roman glassmakers used manganese compounds to either
add color to glass or remove color from it. The use as
"glassmakers' soap" continued through the Middle Ages until modern
times and is evident in 14th century glass from
Venice." Source
Manganese was added by Egyptians, Romans and Venetians to all of
their glass applications. In this modern world, Manganese has come
a long way since then and it's popularity today as cathodic
shielding in the battery industry and in some of the most advanced
technological applications, is quite a remarkable innovation.
Manganese is a common ferrous metal with an atomic weight of 25
and the chemical symbol Mn. It constitutes roughly 0.1% of the
Earth's crust, making it the 12th most abundant element. More than
25 million tons of manganese ore are mined every year. The most
important manganese ore is pyrolusite. About 80% of the known world
manganese resources are in South Africa. Other important manganese
deposits are in Ukraine, Australia, India, China, Gabon, and
Brazil.
In a recent Biden administration executive order titled
"America's Supply Chains" dated, February 24th 2021, the US made
clear that it understands the importance of securing all domestic
or North American supply chains for all materials of strategic
importance-clearly, Manganese is one such.
"The United States needs resilient, diverse, and secure supply
chains to ensure our economic prosperity and national
security. Pandemics and other biological threats,
cyber-attacks, climate shocks and extreme weather events, terrorist
attacks, geopolitical and economic competition, and other
conditions can reduce critical manufacturing capacity and the
availability and integrity of critical goods, products, and
services. Resilient American supply chains will revitalize
and rebuild domestic manufacturing." Source
Martin Kepman, MXE CEO, comments "The Executive Order is
extremely favorable to Manganese X Energy. The Administration's
effort to secure domestic supply chains puts us at the center of a
North American bullseye. The company's Manganese property is 7.5
miles from the US border. Further, we note there is currently zero
Manganese production from a North American deposit. Manganese X is
positioning to fix this domestic vulnerability by accelerating our
commercialization efforts to become the first local supplier to the
North American electric vehicle and hybrid EV battery market."
Manganese ores generally contain 25 to 45 percent Manganese,
mostly in oxide (or hydroxide) and carbonate minerals. Highly
advanced, technology-based processes have substantially increased
the production from the initial mining days. This has also resulted
in a reduction in chemical waste.
Before it is sent for processing, the Manganese ore is put
through a magnetic separator that separates the particles into
medium-sized and the fine-grained Manganese oxide ore.
Until recently, Manganese used to be dug out from open pit rock
beds, and the process used to require a lot of manpower and time.
The modern methods of Manganese mining across the world are more
economical and produce a higher production yield.
Processing the Ore
Pure manganese is produced by hydrometallurgical and
electrolytic processes, while ferromanganese and silicomanganese
are produced by the smelting of ores in a blast furnace or, more
commonly, in an electric furnace.
The main purpose of processing Manganese ore is about producing
a specific and acceptable grade of Manganese, where the objective
is for maximum recovery of the Manganese.
The beginning of the Manganese ore processing involves a
multistage crushing workflow. From there, the production of
ferromanganese, the manganese ore is mixed with iron ore and carbon
and then reduced either in a blast furnace or in an electric arc
furnace. The resulting ferromanganese has a Manganese content of
30% to 80%. Pure Manganese used for the production of iron-free
alloys is produced by leaching manganese ore with sulfuric acid and
a subsequent electrowinning process.
The treatment of the Manganese ore should be designed to produce
a maximum amount of the Manganese in a coarse form which will be
marketable without the further and high cost of nodulizing or
sintering.
the progress of our metallurgical work or at least that the
intended processing method will not require smelting?
"Manganese X Energy (MXE) is presently shipping a bulk sample
taken from its 2020 drill program to Kemetco Research Inc of
Vancouver that will be used for further refinement of two previous
phases of testing that resulted in a recovery rate of 85% Mn and
purification testing that produced a 99.95% pure MnS04,
product suitable for the EV and Hybrid vehicle and energy storage
battery market. The current testing will focus on refining the
leaching processes and enhancing the flow sheet with an eye to even
greater efficiencies and processing cost reductions. MXE is pleased
to be working with Kemetco in advancing this exciting project using
novel processes for which provisional patents will be applied to
provide an essential component of high tech batteries in the most
environmentally sustainable manner." Perry MacKinnon, P.Geo VP of
Exploration, Manganese X Energy
The Future is Here
Global investment in clean energy was increased to $ 270 billion
US during 2014 with China leading the way and the US coming second.
In 2011, 70% of the world's Manganese ore was produced by just four
countries: South Africa, Australia, China, and Gabon. Manganese is
a critical mineral in America and the development of new methods of
beneficiation is highly desirable for its application in national
defense.
The market is hot now. Since many major car manufacturers such
as Volkswagen, Porsche, and Mercedes are busy with developing
electric cars, Lithium-ion batteries are a part of every drawing
board. Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, is one of the industry
pioneers, he has shown interest in replacing cobalt with Manganese
in his high-tech machines. If others favor this move, it will
increase the number of electric vehicles on roads reducing carbon
emissions.
More than 25 million tons of manganese ores are mined every
year. This includes lower grade Manganese ores that have been
brought back into development and utilization due to the lack of
high-grade Manganese ore in developed countries. Manganese nodules
are found along the ocean floor and are mined for their Manganese,
but not as much as their terrestrial sources. Experts believe that
deep seabed mining could become a source of Manganese ore and could
significantly shift from land to ocean, but with potentially severe
environmental implications.
"In 2010 and 2011 when Lithium-ion batteries became the growth
driver in the battery industry, junior miners exploring and
developing lithium, graphite and cobalt deposits saw an average
return of 407%."
