Tesla does have an inside connection to one potential source of useful manganese through Jeff Dahn. Manganese X Energy Corp. (OTCPK:MNXXF) (MN.V) owns the Battery Hill Project in New Brunswick, an early-stage manganese exploration project that is one province over from Dahn's Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia. Manganese X has demonstrated an ability to produce high grade battery material out of its property with it yielding manganese sulphate with a purity exceeding 99.95%. The company has a Board Member and Director named Roger Dahn, who is the brother of Jeff Dahn. That family connection is likely something that both Tesla and Manganese X would be willing to exploit.
