[TradingView](https://www.tradingview.com/news/tradingview:dbe2395253dfb:0-manganese-x-energy-corp-mn-joins-nrc-led-lmr-cathode-project-with-posco/) reported the agreement.\n\n## Manganese X's 10kg Sample for LMR Cathode Testing\n\nThe sample comes from [Manganese X Energy](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0002ufk/manganese-x-energy)'s Battery Hill high-purity manganese project. The material is intended for third-party testing in precursor cathode active material and cathode active material work, according to the report. POSCO is to verify the performance of the material.\n\nThe project carries a total value of CA$632,111, with Manganese X Energy's contribution at approximately CA$116,300 in cash or in-kind outlay, the report said. The company's own announcement is posted on its [website](http://www.manganesexenergycorp.com).\n\n[E3 Lithium](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000067l/e3-lithium) is one of the other participants in the NRC-led project. In September 2026, E3 Lithium signed a non-binding MOU with Epsilon CAM for potential long-term supply of battery-grade lithium carbonate from its Clearwater Project, Stock Titan reported. In October 2026, E3 Lithium closed an upsized equity offering generating about $11.5 million in gross proceeds from 12.78 million units, with net proceeds planned for the Clearwater Project and general working capital, Pulse 2.0 reported.\n\n## Manganese X's Battery Qualification and Funding Records\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Manganese X Energy advanced to Phase 3, the final stage of C4V's battery qualification program, in June 2026, after Phase 2 results showed 70% capacity retention after 4,600 cycles in Multi-Layer Full Pouch Cell Evaluation. The same records show the company received C$1.71 million from the early exercise of 28,571,428 warrants by Eric Sprott via 2176423 Ontario Ltd. in June 2026, increasing his beneficial ownership to approximately 35% of outstanding shares.\n\n## Battery Hill's Path to the NRC Project\n\nIn June 2026, Manganese X Energy announced that its high-purity manganese material had advanced to Phase 3 of C4V's battery qualification program, following Phase 2 testing that demonstrated 70% capacity retention after 4,600 cycles, Stock Titan reported. In May 2026, the company announced during PDAC 2026 that it is progressing on its Battery Hill High-Purity Manganese Project in New Brunswick, Canada, with a goal to supply battery-grade manganese for EV batteries and energy storage systems in North America, Stock Titan reported.\n\n## March 31, 2027 Completion Target\n\nThe NRC-led project is slated to complete by March 31, 2027, according to the report.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
