Executive Order Reinforces Strategic Value of Electric Metals' U.S. Manganese Development
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 96% of global HPMSM production, the Executive Order significantly enhances the strategic and commercial value of American-made alternatives.
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.
About Electric Metals (USA) Limited
Electric Metals (USA) Limited (TSXV: EML) (OTCQB: EMUSF) is a US-based mineral development company with manganese and silver projects geared to supporting the transition to clean energy. The Company's principal asset is the Emily Manganese Project in Minnesota, the highest-grade manganese deposit in North America, which has been the subject of considerable technical studies, including National Instrument 43-101 Technical Reports - Resource Estimates. The Company's mission in Minnesota is to become a domestic US producer of high-value, high-purity manganese metal and chemical products to supply the North American electric vehicle battery, technology and industrial markets. With manganese playing a critical and prominent role in lithium-ion battery formulations, and with no current domestic supply or active mines for manganese in North America, the development of the Emily Manganese Project represents a significant opportunity for America, the State of Minnesota and for the Company's shareholders.
