Electric Metals' Long-standing, Integrated Domestic Manganese Strategy Validated by U.S. Policy Shift Aimed at Restoring American Industrial Independence
Electric Metals (EMUSF) is advancing its strategy to develop domestic manganese production, aligned with recent U.S. policy shifts including new tariffs aimed at restoring American industrial independence. The company is developing the Emily Manganese Project in Minnesota, North America's highest-grade manganese deposit, as part of a vertically integrated domestic supply chain.
The company plans to construct a high-purity manganese sulfate monohydrate (HPMSM) plant for electric vehicle batteries and is evaluating production of high-purity manganese metal (EMM) for defense and industrial applications. With China controlling over 96% of global HPMSM and EMM production, the new tariffs enhance the competitive landscape for domestic producers and are expected to accelerate demand from U.S. manufacturers.
Electric Metals (EMUSF) sta avanzando nella sua strategia per sviluppare la produzione domestica di manganese, in linea con i recenti cambiamenti di politica degli Stati Uniti, inclusi i nuovi dazi volti a ripristinare l'indipendenza industriale americana. L'azienda sta sviluppando il Progetto Manganese Emily nel Minnesota, il giacimento di manganese di più alta qualità del Nord America, come parte di una catena di approvvigionamento domestica verticalmente integrata.
L'azienda prevede di costruire un impianto di solfato di manganese monoidrato ad alta purezza (HPMSM) per batterie di veicoli elettrici e sta valutando la produzione di metallo di manganese ad alta purezza (EMM) per applicazioni difensive e industriali. Con la Cina che controlla oltre il 96% della produzione globale di HPMSM ed EMM, i nuovi dazi migliorano il panorama competitivo per i produttori domestici e si prevede che accelerino la domanda da parte dei produttori statunitensi.

Electric Metals (EMUSF) verfolgt seine Strategie zur Entwicklung der inländischen Manganproduktion, die mit den jüngsten politischen Veränderungen in den USA in Einklang steht, einschließlich neuer Zölle, die darauf abzielen, die industrielle Unabhängigkeit Amerikas wiederherzustellen. Das Unternehmen entwickelt das Emily Manganese Project in Minnesota, die hochwertigste Manganlagerstätte Nordamerikas, als Teil einer vertikal integrierten inländischen Lieferkette.
Das Unternehmen plant den Bau einer Hochreinheits-Mangan-Sulfat-Monohydrat (HPMSM)-Anlage für Batterien von Elektrofahrzeugen und prüft die Produktion von Hochreinheits-Manganmetall (EMM) für Verteidigungs- und Industrieanwendungen. Da China über 96 % der globalen HPMSM- und EMM-Produktion kontrolliert, verbessern die neuen Zölle die Wettbewerbsbedingungen für inländische Produzenten und werden voraussichtlich die Nachfrage von US-Herstellern beschleunigen.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / April 7, 2025 / Electric Metals (USA) Limited ("Electric Metals" or the "Company") (TSXV:EML)(OTCQB:EMUSF) As the Company advances its strategy to develop and process manganese domestically, recent policy shifts continue to highlight the importance of securing reliable sources of this critical material for U.S. markets.
Among the most consequential of these developments, President Donald J. Trump's newly imposed tariffs-declared as part of the administration's "Liberation Day" effort to restore American industrial independence-have further cast a spotlight on the strategic importance of domestic mineral production. For Electric Metals, these developments validate our long-standing strategy already focused on developing a
"This is exactly the kind of structural shift we've been anticipating," said Brian Savage, CEO of Electric Metals (USA). "Our strategy has always been about building a secure, U.S.-based supply of high-purity manganese chemical and metal products. These new tariffs don't change our direction-they strengthen the case for what we're already doing."
Electric Metals is advancing the Emily Manganese Project in Minnesota-the highest-grade manganese deposit in North America-as the foundation of a vertically integrated domestic supply chain. The company plans to construct a high-purity manganese sulfate monohydrate (HPMSM) plant to serve the electric vehicle battery market and is also evaluating future U.S. production of high-purity manganese metal (EMM) to support defense, specialty alloy, and industrial demand.
With China currently controlling more than
Trump-era tariffs are accelerating a long-term geopolitical realignment-and Electric Metals is positioned at the center of a future-proof, U.S.-controlled supply chain.
"We're not pivoting-we're positioned," added Mr. Savage. "Tariffs may come and go, but the long-term trend is clear: the United States needs its own secure, transparent, and resilient supply chain for critical minerals. Manganese is essential, and we're building the platform to deliver it."
Electric Metals' strategy aligns directly with U.S. industrial, energy, and defense policy priorities-especially as automakers, battery manufacturers, and national security stakeholders seek reliable, non-Chinese sources of critical materials.
