Commercial Demonstration Plant Planned to Have a Processing Capacity of 3 Tonnes of Cathode Scrap per Day

SURREY, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 27, 2019 / American Manganese Inc. (TSXV:AMY)(OTC:AMYZF)(FSE:2AM) ("AMY" or the "Company") is pleased to report that negotiations have begun with Kemetco Research on the preliminary engineering design and economic analysis of a Commercial Demonstration recycling plant with a planned processing capacity of 3 tonnes of cathode scrap material per day.

With the successful design, commissioning, and testing of the RecycLiCoTM Pilot Plant project, Kemetco Research would begin preliminary engineering design and economic analysis for the Commercial Demonstration plant utilizing the multiple data points and optimization strategies observed throughout the Pilot Plant project. Subsequently, American Manganese will be engaging Kemetco for detailed engineering plans.

"When we first engaged Kemetco, in 2016, to begin lab-scale research on a lithium-ion battery recycling technology, Norm Chow and his brilliant team of scientists weren't just solving a problem on a lab-scale because they always considered the scalability of the process," said Larry Reaugh, President and CEO of American Manganese. "We have always been aiming towards turning this technology into a profitable enterprise with a global clientele."
