MGX Minerals Inc. (“MGX” or the “Company”) (CSE: XMG / FKT: 1MG / OTCQB: MGXMF) reported today that its collaborative research partnership with the University of British Columbia (“UBC”) has completed a comprehensive baseline assessment of metallurgical silicon originating from each of the Company’s three silicon projects in southeastern British Columbia. MGX and UBC are working together to develop next-generation Li-ion batteries capable of quadrupling energy density from current 100 Wh/kg up to 400 Wh/kg for use in long-range electric vehicles and grid storage. read more

MGX Minerals Inc. (“MGX” or the “Company”) (CSE: XMG / FKT: 1MG / OTCQB: MGXMF) is pleased to report it is funding a research consortium with the University of British Columbia (“UBC”) to develop a low-cost and scalable method for fabricating Silicon based anode to improve the energy density of Li-ion batteries. The two-year research program will focus on 1) fabricating nanostructured silicon using low-cost metallurgical silicon as a feedstock and 2) compositing nanostructured silicon with commercial graphite to develop a high-performance silicon anode. The purpose of the research is to replace the graphite anode with silicon and complete a hybrid in the short-term which will not require retooling. The ultimate goal is to enable next-generation Li-ion batteries capable of quadrupling energy density from current 100 Wh/kg up to 400 Wh/kg for use in long-range electric vehicles and grid storage. read more

Manganese X Energy Corp. (TSXV: MN) (FSE: 9SC2) (OTC Pink: SNCGF) (the “Company” or Manganese X ) committed itself in early 2017 to achieve a fundamental understanding of the mineralogical composition of the various manganese bearing zones within its Battery Hill deposit to assist in its metallurgical evaluations. With the use of scanning electron microscopy, or Qemscan, X-Ray Diffraction and other techniques, the company was able to build an extremely detailed portrait of the various ore types contained in the major zonal deposits, to a far greater level of comprehension than had been obtained since the first discovery of manganese in southern New Brunswick in 1836. read more
