About Electric Metals (USA) Limited

Electric Metals (USA) Limited (TSXV: EML; OTCQB: EMUSF) is a U.S.-domiciled critical minerals and advanced materials company developing the North Star Manganese Project, a 100% U.S. domestic manganese supply chain supporting the electrification of everything.

The Company's principal asset is the Emily manganese deposit in Minnesota, the highest-grade manganese deposit in North America. The North Star Manganese Project comprises a manganese mine in Emily, Minnesota, and a planned high-purity manganese sulfate monohydrate (HPMSM) chemical processing facility in the United States.

The Project has been the subject of extensive technical evaluation, including a Preliminary Economic Assessment prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Electric Metals' mission is to establish a secure, resilient, and fully domestic U.S. supply of high-purity manganese chemical and metal products for electric vehicle and energy storage batteries, defense, technology, and industrial markets. With no current domestic production of manganese ore or battery-grade manganese in North America, the North Star Manganese Project represents a strategic opportunity to strengthen U.S. industrial capability, reduce foreign supply-chain dependence, and support domestic manufacturing and national security objectives.
