June 15, 2010 - Vancouver, British Columbia
Larry W. Reaugh, President and Chief Executive Officer ofCanadian mining developer, American Manganese Inc., (TSX.V: AMY; Pink Sheets: AMYZF) (�American Manganese� or the �Company�) is pleased to announce it has signed a third Contribution Agreement with the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP) to continue the successful development of a hydrometallurgical process to extract and recover high purity manganese from lower grade domestic resources within North America. The success of that program has led to the development of a proprietary process that will be the subject of an application for patent protection. Extensive studies and tests were conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Mines (U.S.B.M.) over more than forty years. The recent developments have resulted in a treatment strategy that involves an innovative application of modern commercial process equipment. The result will be a more robust, complete flow sheet with reduced operating costs to recover manganese from lower grade resources.
Kemetco Research Inc�s (�Kemetco�) report for the work completed in the initial phase to May 15, 2010 is in progress.
In addition to financial support, NRC-IRAP will provide a range of both technical and business oriented advisory services.
The Company is working with Kemetco to continue the development of a novel hydrometallurgical process which will yield high purity manganese metal and/or manganese dioxide at low cost from North American known resources.
