American Manganese Inc. Publishes Lithium Ion Battery Recycling Research Flow Chart and Schedule



Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Larry W. Reaugh, President and Chief Executive Officer of American Manganese Inc. ("American Manganese" or "AMI" or the "Company"), (TSX.V:AMY; Pink Sheets:AMYZF; Frankfurt:2AM), is pleased to announce that the Company has published Kemetco's GANTT Chart on the AMI website. Following the company's recent successful Private Placement, AMI is well positioned to meet budgeted research expenses of $800,000 necessary to support the company's final patent application.

Research will be conducted in final phases as follows:

Phase 1B - (May 1 - August 16, 2017)

  • Lithium Cobalt (LCO)

  • Flowsheets 1&2.Lithium Cobalt Battery Testing and Cobalt ore testing.

Phase 2 - (April 24 - September 6, 2017)

  • Scoping Study Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC)

Leaching and precipitation FS1 & FS2.Reformation Battery Testing.

  • Scoping Study Lithium Manganese (LMO)

Leaching and Precipitation FS1 & FS2.Reformation Battery Testing.

  • Scoping Study Nickel Cobalt Aluminum (NCA)

Leaching & Precipitation FS1 & FS2.

  • Reformation and battery testing

Phase 3 - (July 10 - August 21, 2017)

  • Optimization NMC-LMO and LNCA and Lock down alternative chemistry flow sheet.

Phase 3B - (Aug 22 - Nov 23, 2017)

  • Locked cycle work NMC, LMO and LNCA and Battery testing.

Patent - (Aug 11 - Nov 9, 2017)

  • Patent drafting application and submission.

Research commenced on April 24, 2017 and as of today is on time and within budget.
