Manganese X Energy announced initial results, including 84 m of 12.8% MnO, from its recently completed diamond drilling program at its 100% owned Battery Hill project in New Brunswick, Canada. The Battery Hill manganese project, which covers 1,228 hectares, is located approximately 5 km northwest of the town of Woodstock and is accessible via a new two-lane road. The program consisted of infill and expansion drilling designed to upgrade existing inferred resources to the measured and indicated categories in support of the project's upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study.

Assays have been received from 10 holes of the 35-hole program, drilled on the Moody Hill and Sharpe Farm sectors of the Battery Hill deposit. Once all results have been received, an updated National Instrument 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate will be completed. Highlights include: Hole 66 reporting 84 metres of 12.8% manganese oxide "MnO" starting at surface, Hole 65 reporting 75.4 metres of 11.2% MnO starting at 8 metres, Hole 63 reporting 57.8 metres of 14.6% MnO starting from 4.2 metres, Hole 64 reporting 56.5 metres of 12.3% MnO starting at 5.5 metres, Hole 59 reporting 26 metres of 13.3% MnO starting in the coming weeks to initiate the validation process.

Holes SF22-63 to 65 were vertical holes, drilled at a low angle to the strata, and provided material for testing in the ongoing Pilot Plant testing at Kemetco Research, in Richmond, British Columbia. Holes SF22-59 to 62, and 67, were drilled at 45 degrees and have an estimated true thickness of 80-85% of reported values. Manganese X's mission is to advance its Battery Hill project into production, with the intent of supplying value-added materials to the lithium-ion battery and other alternative energy industries.

The company is also pursuing to achieve new carbon-friendly more efficient methodologies, while processing manganese at a lower competitive cost. It is the only public actively traded manganese company in Canada and the US moving towards commercialization of a manganese deposit, as well as potentially becoming a North American supply chain supplier. The company's Disruptive Battery Corp.

subsidiary is developing an HVAC air purification delivery system for cleaner and healthier air, aiming to mitigate COVID-19 and other contaminants on surfaces and in the air.
