Arizona Tribune - Executive Order to Accelerate U.S. Critical Mineral Development Reinforces Strategic Value of Electric Metals' Emily Manganese Project in Minnesota

A key provision of the order requires federal agencies and authorities to rapidly identify priority projects that can be advanced immediately for federal regulatory approval. This mechanism is designed to catalyze the near-term development of high-impact mineral assets and supply chain infrastructure.

The Executive Order directly reinforces the strategic importance of Electric Metals (USA) Inc. and its flagship Emily Manganese Project in Minnesota-the highest-grade manganese deposit in North America, a potential domestic source of manganese, a mineral vital to EV battery production, energy storage, steelmaking, and defense applications.

Brian Savage, CEO, Electric Metals commented: "We welcome this decisive federal action and its emphasis on accelerating the development of critical mineral projects. Our Emily Manganese Project fits squarely within the goals of this Executive Order, as a U.S.-based, high-grade manganese resource that is ready to move forward and help secure America's mineral independence."

The Emily Manganese Project is well aligned with the criteria outlined in the Executive Order and stands as a strong candidate for priority designation, given its potential to significantly reduce U.S. reliance on foreign manganese supply.

The Emily Manganese Deposit, Minnesota is the highest grade manganese deposit in North America. Electric Metals is poised to emerge as a low-cost producer of 100% domestically sourced, high-purity, battery grade, manganese products and chemicals, including HPMSM, for the electric vehicle battery and energy storage sectors.
