American Manganese Improves Manganese Process Flowsheet for U.S. Defense Logistics Agency Project
American Manganese Inc. (AMYZF) announced enhancements to its manganese processing flowsheet, funded by the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency. Recent bench-scale studies demonstrated that the original flowsheet can be optimized, leading to improved process efficiencies and reduced capital costs in future operations. The company achieved up to 99% manganese extraction during leach studies from samples taken from the Wenden Stockpile. The project remains on schedule, highlighting the potential value of low-grade manganese resources critical for U.S. supply.
- Optimized manganese processing flowsheet expected to improve efficiencies.
- Achieved up to 99% extraction of manganese from leach studies.
- Project funded by U.S. Defense Logistics Agency enhances credibility.
- None.
Optimization Could Support Improved Efficiencies & Reduce Capital Costs
SURREY, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 9, 2021 / American Manganese Inc. (TSXV:AMY)(OTCQB:AMYZF)(FSE:2AM) ("AMY" or the "Company") is pleased to announce improvements to the Company's manganese processing flowsheet following the recent research and development on the Wenden Stockpile reclamation and advanced material processing bench-scale project, funded by the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).
The recent metallurgical bench-scale studies that focused on solid-liquid separation demonstrated that the Company's original flowsheet can be optimized. These enhancements to the Company's flowsheet would be expected to further improve process efficiencies and reduce capital costs of a potential future commercial operation.
"We continue to demonstrate our advanced manganese processing capabilities on low-grade manganese resources through our project with the DLA. Our work suggests that despite its low grade, the Wenden Stockpile may be a valuable manganese resource for the U.S., which is now
