Manganese X Energy (TSXV:MN) will undertake a $2.1 million non-brokered private placement, including a $2 million commitment from Eric Sprott, one of Canada’s most storied and successful mining investors.

The company will allocate the majority of the funds to advance its flagship Battery Hill project in New Brunswick, including an imminent pre-feasibility study. The project is estimated to house 12.25 million tons of measured and indicated manganese resources grading 8.77 per cent and 10.61 million tons inferred grading 9.05 per cent.

The junior explorer will issue up to 60 million unit subscription receipts priced at $0.035. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the investor to acquire an additional share for $0.06 up to 36 months after the end of the offering.

The investment will result in Sprott becoming a Control Person (page 4), subject to shareholder approval at a meeting slated for late February or early March 2025.
