Larry W. Reaugh, President and Chief Executive Officer of American Manganese
Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AMY)(PINKSHEETS:AMYZF)(FRANKFURT:2AM) ("American Manganese" or
the "Company") is pleased to report that management has been reviewing the
option of making Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide (EMD) separately or in
conjunction with Electrolytic Manganese Metal (EMM).


The Company engaged Kemetco Research Inc. in April, 2011 to initiate studies on
the EMD and Lithium Manganese Oxide for the battery industries. Kemetco has
produced both EMD and CMD product and are currently preparing to produce button
batteries for testing for the Company and interested parties in the battery
industry.


Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide

The recent successful Pilot Plant work generated high purity manganese carbonate
which may be used to produce either EMM or EMD.


Electricity consumption for EMD is 20% of the power required for the production
of EMM which is a significant reduction in operating cost.


EMD product contains on a per pound basis 60% of the manganese contained in a
pound of EMM. Based on two separate operations on a 50,000 tonne per year basis
the manganese required to produce 50,000 tonnes of EMD would be 30,000 tonnes of
metal as compared to EMM at 50,000 tonnes of metal per year. The effect of EMD
production versus EMM production is a significant reduction in the size of the
footprint in both plant size and pit production.


The western current average price for EMD is approximately $1.11/lb.

Sales forecasts for electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid-electric vehicle (HEV) in
the short term remain strong. The medium to long term forecasts indicate higher
product adoption rates leading to a growing EV/HEV market share. 


Mr. Reaugh says, "The patent pending manganese extraction process we develop is
amenable to the production of any combination of electrolytic products: EMD, EMM
or both concurrently. Furthermore, depending on the product mix it may possible
to decrease the size of the processing facilities thereby reducing the capital
cost of the project. Our challenge is to find the product mix that generates the
best return for our shareholders. If the EMM market remains sluggish, the
production of EMD could present a stronger market opportunity both now and in
the future."
