Electric Metals (USA) Limited Announces Appointment of Chief Executive Officer
February 01 2024 - 11:26AM
Electric Metals (USA) Limited (“
EML” or the
“
Company”) (
TSXV: EML)
(
OTCQB: EMUSF) is delighted to announce the
appointment of Mr. Brian Savage to the position of President and
Chief Executive Officer, effective today. Mr. Savage replaces Mr.
Gary Lewis who has resigned all positions with the Company. The
Board thanks Mr. Lewis for his service to the Company and wishes
him well in his future endeavours.
The main goal for Mr. Savage is to further the
evaluation and advancement of the Emily Manganese Project in
Central Minnesota and to transition the project from a resource to
an operating mine and high purity manganese processing plant. Mr.
Savage is eminently suited to this role. An American citizen and
resident of Colorado, he holds an MSc in Mineral Economics and a
BSc in Mining Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines.
Mr. Savage has a long history of identifying,
building, transforming and growing businesses in the mining and
metals industry. His most recent project has been the formation of
a joint venture to restart the shipping of manganese from the
Kisenge mine facility in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Mr. Savage has a wealth of experience in
exploration, development, production and project financing. He has
spent years developing mining projects in various countries
including Kazakhstan, Russia, Guinea and the Congo, as well as a
number of operations in the United States. He has worked with a
large range of stakeholders, including property owners, local
communities, governmental and international entities and
shareholders.
Mr. Savage stated, “I am thrilled to join
Electric Metals. We believe the Emily Manganese Project represents
the highest grade manganese deposit in North America and offers an
exciting opportunity to develop high-value high-purity manganese
products for the electric vehicle and energy storage sector,
filling a crucial gap in the US market.” The Board of Electric
Metals is confident that Mr. Savage has the right experience to
advance the Emily Manganese Deposit from a geologic, technical,
economic and environmental viewpoint, while maintaining a
stewardship that is in the best interest of all stakeholders.
During the last year the company has expended great effort in
exploration drilling with the aim to further quantify the Emily
Deposit. In the near future the Company expects to be able to
announce an updated mineral resource and the results of the ongoing
metallurgical laboratory research testing of the ability of
Electrical Metals to produce battery grade high purity manganese
sulphate monohydrate (HPMSM) and other high-grade manganese
products from the Emily Manganese Project.
About Electric Metals (USA)
Limited
Electric Metals (USA) Limited (TSXV: EML)
(OTCQB: EMUSF) is a U.S.-based mineral development company with
manganese and silver projects geared to supporting the transition
to clean energy. The Company’s principal asset is the Emily
Manganese Project in Minnesota, which has been the subject of
considerable technical studies, including a National Instrument
43-101 Technical Report – Resource Estimate, with over US$26
million invested to date. The Company’s mission in Minnesota is to
become a domestic U.S. producer of high purity, high-value
manganese metal and chemical products for supply to U.S. energy,
technology and industrial markets. With manganese playing a
critical and prominent role in lithium-ion battery formulations,
and with no current domestic supply or active mines for manganese
in North America, the development of the Emily Manganese Project
represents a significant opportunity for America, the State of
Minnesota and for the Company’s shareholders.
