This presentation contains “forward-looking information” which may include, but is not limited to, statements with respect to the future financial or operatingperformance of American Manganese Inc., its subsidiaries and its projects, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineralreserve estimates, the timing and amount of future production, costs of production, capital, operating and exploration expenditures, costs and timing ofdevelopment of new deposits, costs and timing of future exploration, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations,environmental risks, reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations of insurance coverage. Often, but not always, forward-lookingstatements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”,“anticipates”, or “believes” or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results “may”,“could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.

DEMONSTRATION PLANT OPERATING EXPENSES
Expense Estimation
Reagents
Derived from the quantity of reagents used to process 3 tonnes of cathodematerial multiplied by the cost of the reagents.
The same composition of reagents is used for all battery chemistries shown.
Labour and Maintenance
Three shifts of four plant operators working an 8-hour shift and operating 24hours/day at a rate of $45/hour.
An office administrator, an accountant, shipping and receiving, an assistantmanager, and a manager working an 8-hour shift at a rate of $45/hour. Plus anadditional $3,168 for G&A.
Maintenance includes three 8-hour shifts of one maintenance personnel at arate of $60/hr.
Feed Material Delivered 10% of the total cathode value.
Building and Utilities
The building rent and utility costs were estimated for a 15,000 ft2 facility, thatwould be located in the greater Vancouver area.
Utility costs are extrapolated from current rates being used in the lab testing.
Shipping and Packaging Received a quote for shipping and packaging two 20-tonne loads of theprocessed cathode material across Canada every week.
NOTE: The third party and contract company, Kemetco Research, is experienced in successfully designing and installing dozens of similar sized facilities and using similar reagents. They have helped provide most of the estimates for CAPEX and OPEX.
