Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - April 11, 2017) - Manganese X Energy Corp. (the "Company") (TSXV: MN) (FSE: 9SC2)
(OTC Pink: SNCGF) has received preliminary results from SGS-Lakefield of chemical analyses, mineralogical characterizations and
assessments of the Company's Sharpe Farm and Moody Hill occurrences at its manganese property near Houlton-Woodstock, New
Brunswick. Based on the initial drill assay results, chemical analyses showed manganese contents of 9.42 and 10.45% Mn in the Red
and Grey composites respectively. From the X-ray diffraction and Qemscan (Quantitative Evaluation of Materials by Scanning Electron
Microscopy) studies it was determined that the manganese occurs in several mineralogical forms including carbonates and silicates
where the concentration across the various manganese-bearing species averaged 23% Mn (grey) and 27% Mn (red) with individual values
of up to 45% Mn. In addition to the determination of the mineralogical composition of the samples submitted, PMA or particle map
analysis was also carried out which permits measurement of individual mineral grain sizes and liberation characteristics. This
information will prove invaluable as the Company moves towards assessing proposals from various research establishments with the
goal of upgrading the ore to produce a marketable manganese concentrate.
In addition to a series of outreach proposals to commercial laboratories, the Company has also commenced discussions for a
potential collaboration with NRC, the National Research Council Canada, which has expertise in mineral processing within the
Energy, Mining and Environment sector and could offer assistance to the Company as it positions itself to be a significant supplier
to the North American Li-ion market.
