Successful Phase 1 Recycling Results in Leaching 100% Lithium and Cobalt Using American Manganese Inc.’s Patented Process
Vancouver, BC (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 received the first progress report from Kemetco
Research Inc. (Kemetco) on Recycling Lithium – Cobalt Cathode Materials essential to the production of Lithium Ion Batteries.
Ten reductive leach tests were conducted with a range of conditions using AMI’s proprietary process. Extractions of 100%
for both lithium and cobalt were achieved from cathode powders used for lithium ion batteries.
“With the completion of this Phase 1 work, the Company is now in a position to have Kemetco conduct additional, more
fine-grained leaching tests, leading to metal precipitation tests and the production of rechargeable coin cell batteries in Phase
3 from 100 % recycled materials.”, says Mr. Reaugh. “What is becoming clear is that the Company’s patented
hydrometallurgical extraction process is well suited to recycle and produce any or all of the high value-added cathode materials
- including Lithium, Cobalt, Nickel, and Manganese.”
