AMERICAN MANGANESE INC. PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE

The B.C. Securities Commission has revoked the cease trade order issued against the American Manganese Inc.'s securities due to the late filing of its financial statements for the nine months ended April 30, 2016. The financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the aforementioned period have now been filed on SEDAR, and the company applied for a reinstatement to trading. The TSX Venture Exchange has advised that soon after the dissemination of this news release that it would be issuing an exchange bulletin reinstating the company's securities for trading. The company has received a notice from the exchange that it has 90 days to reorganize itself to meet the continued listing requirements for a TSX-V Tier 2 company or the company's tier classification will change from Tier 2 to the NEX.

The company will be holding its next annual general meeting at 11 a.m. on Oct. 18, 2016, at 543 Granville St., fifth floor, Vancouver, B.C. Notice of the AGM will be posted on SEDAR shortly.

At the company's last AGM, shareholders approved amendments to the company's articles to allow for notice-and-access mailing procedures and advance notice requirements with respect to director nominations. The company has decided to defer such amendments to its articles and will announce implementation of such changes if it elects to proceed.

We seek Safe Harbor.
