Executive Order Reinforces Strategic Value of Electric Metals' U.S. Manganese Development
Electric Metals USA (TSXV:EML)(OTCQB:EMUSF) responds to President Trump's April 15 Executive Order under Section 232, investigating national security risks from imported critical minerals. The order highlights the strategic importance of the company's Emily Project in Minnesota, which contains North America's highest-grade manganese deposit.
The company plans to produce High-Purity Manganese Sulfate Monohydrate (HPMSM), a important component for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and grid storage. With China controlling 96% of global HPMSM production, the Executive Order enhances the value of domestic alternatives.
Electric Metals will complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on the Emily Project soon, followed by a Feasibility Study for an integrated mine and HPMSM production facility, aiming to establish a vertically integrated U.S.-based supply chain.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / April 21, 2025 / Electric Metals (USA) Limited ("EML" or the "Company") (TSXV:EML)(OTCQB:EMUSF) commends President Donald J. Trump's April 15 Executive Order invoking Section 232 to investigate the national security risks of U.S. reliance on imported processed critical minerals and their derivatives. This policy move highlights the urgent need for secure, domestic production of strategic materials like manganese-and reinforces the national importance of Electric Metals' U.S.-based development.
Electric Metals is advancing the highest-grade manganese deposit in North America at its Emily Project in Minnesota. The Company's mission is to become a leading producer of high-value, high-purity manganese chemical and metal products from North America's highest-grade deposit, serving the electric vehicle, defense, technology, and industrial sectors to strengthen American manufacturing and advance national security objectives.
The Company is initially focused on producing High-Purity Manganese Sulfate Monohydrate (HPMSM) -a critical input for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and grid storage systems. With China currently controlling over
A Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on the Emily Manganese Project will be completed in the near future. The Company will then aim to advance to a full Feasibility Study, which will include both the mine and an integrated HPMSM production facility - creating a vertically integrated, U.S.-based supply chain for this critical battery material.
"This Executive Order doesn't alter our direction-it strengthens the case for what we're already building," said Brian Savage, CEO of Electric Metals (USA). "Our strategy has always been focused on delivering a secure, domestic source of HPMSM to power America's clean energy and defense future, and we believe this Executive Order perfectly aligns with that mission."
The Executive Order, issued under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, directs the Secretary of Commerce to determine whether U.S. dependence on foreign critical mineral imports threatens national security. The outcome could lead to trade remedies that support and incentivize domestic processing capacity-directly aligning with Electric Metals' development roadmap.
The long-term trend is unmistakable: the United States needs its own secure and resilient supply chain for critical minerals. Electric Metals is committed to supporting that goal by responsibly developing high-purity manganese chemical and metal products that serve both strategic and commercial priorities.
