AMERICAN MANGANESE INC. REVIEWS HIGH GRADE POTENTIAL AT ROCHER DEBOULE

American Manganese Inc. has reviewed the potential for high-grade zones within its Rocher Deboule property, located eight kilometres south of Hazelton, B.C. The area has excellent infrastructure with electric grid power, the Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16) and the Canadian National Railway line passing through nearby Hazelton.

The potential for a high-grade iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) target on the Rocher Deboule property is documented in the 2002 British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines, geological survey branch, publication "Iron-oxide-copper-gold deposit potential." The deep-seated structural setting of the Rocher Deboule occurrence, combined with a geochemical signature similar to other IOCG deposits, increases the potential for an IOCG-type high-grade and tonnage resource at depth. This may be suitable for a larger-scale development scenario.

The British Columbia Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources, in its bulletin No. 43, "Geology of the Rocher Deboule Range by A. Sutherland Brown (1960)," identified that the Rocher Deboule property contains high-grade gold/silver/copper/cobalt/molybdenum veins that have been mined in the past. For example, from page 60 of this bulletin No. 43, the recorded production of the Rocher Deboule mine is as shown in the attached table.

The majority of the precious metals and copper were produced from 1915 through 1918.

Furthermore, from page 70 of this bulletin No. 43, the recorded production of the Victoria mine (now part of the Rocher Deboule property) is as shown in the attached table.

Mr. Sutherland Brown also reported that in 1917 shipment of 75 tons from the Highland Boy claim yielded four ounces of gold, 35 ounces of silver and 10,493 pounds of copper. A separate shipment of 29 tons from the cap yielded three ounces of gold, 252 ounces of silver and 3,376 pounds of copper.

A 14-hole underground diamond drill program was carried out by Southern Gold Resources in 1988 on the Rocher Deboule No. 2 vein. Nine holes intersected mineralization grading from 0.018 ounce per ton to 1.26 ounces per ton gold, 2.63 ounces per ton to 36.2 ounces per ton silver and 0.8 per cent to 6.86 per cent copper over widths ranging from 0.4 metre to 5.55 metres. Further underground sampling in 1987 and 1988 identified good grades at deeper levels on the No. 2 vein.

Surface sampling programs carried out in 2002 and 2004 by A. Kikauka identified high-grade occurrences along the No. 4 vein and the Victoria No. 1 vein. Eleven samples collected from the No. 4 vein graded between 0.011 part per million to 14.8 parts per million gold. Four samples collected along the Victoria No. 1 vein returned 154.14 parts per million, 125.13 parts per million, 59.29 parts per million and 1.41 parts per million gold, respectively.

The attached tables, historical drilling and sampling results were included in the Dec. 18, 2007, National Instrument 43-101-compliant report prepared for the company by A. A. Burgoyne, PGeo, MSc, and A. Kikauka, PGeo.

The company is seeking a joint venture partner that is interested in developing a potential high-grade production scenario suitable for a small-scale operator.
