Manganese X Energy Corp is a Canadian mining company specializing in the exploration and development of high-purity manganese deposits for electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The company aims to become North America’s first publicly traded mining company to commercialize EV-compliant manganese. Through its flagship Battery Hill Project in New Brunswick, the company is establishing itself as a reliable domestic supplier of battery-grade manganese products.
The company’s focus on sustainable and ethical mining practices, combined with its strategic location in North America, positions it to meet the growing demand for manganese in the EV battery sector. Their approach includes developing efficient processing methods while maintaining competitive costs and environmental responsibility.
Battery Technology
Manganese X Energy Corp’s primary technological contribution centers on producing high-purity manganese sulfate monohydrate (HPMSM) for EV battery applications. Their process achieves a remarkable 99.95% purity level, meeting stringent requirements for EV battery manufacturing. This high-purity product serves as an essential component in lithium-ion battery cathodes, enhancing battery performance and longevity.
The company’s Battery Hill Project incorporates advanced processing techniques to transform raw manganese into EV-compliant materials. Their technology focuses on three main products: Electrolytic Manganese Metal (EMM) for aluminum and steel production, Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide (EMD) for battery cathodes, and Granulated Manganese Sulfate for agricultural applications.
Through their subsidiary, Disruptive Battery Corp, they also develop innovative solutions for air purification systems, demonstrating their commitment to diversifying their technological portfolio while maintaining focus on their core manganese processing capabilities.
Recent Projects
In January 2025, Manganese X Energy Corp completed a significant $2.1 million private placement, directing funds toward advancing the Battery Hill Project. The company has made substantial progress at their Kemetco Research pilot plant, where they continue refining and upgrading EV specifications. They’ve successfully synthesized manganese sulfate samples for testing with C4V, a U.S. battery technology leader, and received invitations to participate in OEM Suppliers Days.
Investors
The company’s most notable recent investor is Eric Sprott, who contributed $2 million to the January 2025 private placement, becoming a significant shareholder pending necessary approvals. This investment demonstrates strong market confidence in Manganese X Energy Corp’s vision and technical capabilities in the battery materials sector.
