MANGANESE X ENERGY CORP. SUPPORTS G7 CRITICAL MINERALS BUYER'S CLUBS STRATEGY ADDRESSED BY PRIME MINISTER MARK CARNEY AT WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM IN DAVOS

Manganese X Energy Corp. supports the formation of G7-anchored buyer's clubs for critical minerals, a strategy aimed at securing allied, ethical and resilient supply chains for the global energy transition presented by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the recent World Economic Forum in Davos.

The G7 buyer's clubs' approach is designed to aggregate demand and support long-term offtake commitments, providing credible producers with greater demand certainty, improved project bankability and reduced financing risk. The strategy reflects a broader shift from spot markets toward long-term strategic contracting for critical mineral supply.

"The formation of G7-anchored critical minerals buyer's clubs would be a potential game-changer for the battery materials sector, accelerating the development and supply of localized, traceable and ESG-compliant battery-grade manganese. It is a brilliant strategy that Manganese X fully supports especially since Manganese X is in the throes of our Canadian Battery Hill manganese prefeasibility study," said Manganese X chief executive officer Martin Kepman.

Manganese X's Battery Hill manganese project in New Brunswick, Canada, is strategically positioned with access to clean power, established infrastructure and proximity to North American and allied markets.

Battery Hill contains one of the largest manganese carbonate deposits in North America.

Battery-grade manganese is increasingly recognized as a key input for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. High-purity processing capacity remains constrained, creating a strategic opportunity for projects located in stable, G7-aligned jurisdictions.

Critical minerals -- including manganese -- are foundational to modern economies, underpinning electric vehicles, energy storage systems, renewable power generation and advanced manufacturing. While many of these minerals are geologically abundant, supply chain risk remains elevated due to concentrated refining and processing capacity, often located outside of G7 jurisdictions.

Manganese X is continuing to advance its exploration activities, engineering studies, process optimization and strategic engagement with industry and government stakeholders.

About Manganese X Energy Corp.

Manganese X's mission is to advance its Battery Hill project into production, thereby becoming the first public actively traded manganese mining company in Canada and the United States to commercialize EV-compliant high-purity manganese, potentially supplying the North American supply chain. The company intends on supplying value-added materials to the lithium-ion-battery and other alternative energy industries, as well as striving to achieve new carbon-friendly, more efficient methodologies while processing manganese at a lower, competitive cost.
