Company Highlights
- Flagship U.S. Asset: Emily Manganese Deposit (Minnesota), the highest-grade manganese deposit in North America, with a NI 43-101 resource of 7.6Mt indicated (19.07% Mn) and 3.7Mt inferred (17.04% Mn), plus expansion potential.
- Critical Supply Opportunity: Positioned to help reduce the U.S.’s 100% import reliance on manganese amid concentrated global processing, consistent with U.S. critical-minerals policy priorities.
- Integrated Strategy & Upside: Advancing a mine-to-metal model (underground mine + planned HPMSM/EMM plant) with metallurgical results showing >95% Mn extraction; a June 2026 simulated ore-sorting study also indicated potential to upgrade lower-grade material (~8.2% Mn) to ~17.5% Mn while recovering ~92% of contained manganese.
- PEA Highlights: After-tax NPV (10%) of ~$1.39B and after-tax IRR of ~43.5% over a 23-year mine life; the Company is also evaluating strategic acquisitions to expand its U.S. manganese position.
About Electric Metals (USA) Limited
Electric Metals (USA) Limited (TSXV: EML; OTCQB: EMUS) is a U.S.-domiciled critical minerals and advanced materials company developing the North Star Manganese Project to establish a fully domestic U.S. supply of high-purity manganese products for battery, defense, infrastructure, technology, and industrial markets. The Company’s principal asset is the Emily manganese deposit in Minnesota, the highest-grade manganese deposit in North America. The North Star Manganese Project is a 100% U.S. domestic project comprising a manganese mine in Emily, Minnesota, and a U.S.-based processing facility designed to produce high-purity manganese sulfate monohydrate (HPMSM) and electrolytic manganese metal (EMM). The project has been the subject of extensive technical work, including a Preliminary Economic Assessment prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Electric Metals’ mission is to strengthen America’s critical mineral independence by developing a secure domestic supply of high-purity manganese chemical and metal products for North American electric vehicle and energy storage batteries, defense applications, critical infrastructure, specialty alloys, advanced technologies, and industrial uses.
With manganese playing an increasingly important role in lithium-ion battery formulations and with no current domestic U.S. production of manganese ore, HPMSM, or EMM, the development of the North Star Manganese Project represents a strategic opportunity to reduce dependence on foreign supply chains and support U.S. industrial, energy, and national security priorities.
