RecycLiCo Achieves Over 99% Lithium Extraction from LFP Battery Cathode Materials

SURREY, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 24, 2022 / American Manganese Inc. (TSXV:AMY)(OTCQB:AMYZF)(FSE:2AM) ("Company"), doing business as RecycLiCo Battery Materials, a pioneer in advanced lithium-ion battery recycling and upcycling, and its R&D partner Kemetco Research Inc. ("Kemetco") are pleased to announce that the Company has achieved over 99% lithium recovery from LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery cathode materials during bench-scale tests.

Since 2016, the Company has facilitated up to 100% extraction of valuable battery materials from nickel-rich ("NMC"), manganese-rich ("LMO"), cobalt-rich ("LCO"), and now LFP cathode chemistries. These battery cathode chemistries all contain lithium, which has seen more than a 350% increase in price year-over-year. According to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, China's forecasted share of LFP cathode production in 2022 is 99%, while UBS analysts recently raised their outlook of the global LFP battery market share to 40% by 2030.

To capture a domestic and comprehensive battery recycling market share in the near-term and long-term, the Company has continued to anchor its position as an innovation-driven company that aims to provide a robust and complete solution for various lithium-ion battery chemistries.

"Despite the changing composition and exclusion of nickel, manganese, and cobalt in the cathode-lithium remains a core element in the lithium-ion battery and a significant value driver for efficient and environmentally friendly recycling processes that can achieve high-extraction of lithium," commented Zarko Meseldzija, CTO of American Manganese. "I believe we have a lot of momentum going our way with the ongoing demonstration plant project testing scaled-up operating conditions of our process in addition to our continuous innovation in several battery recycling-related topics."

The Company's growth plan is to work with potential strategic partners, such as the battery, electric vehicle, and cathode manufacturers, to integrate the Company's patented technology under a licensing and joint development business model.
