Upgraded Listing to Increase Exposure for AMYZF

American Manganese Inc. (TSX-V: AMY) (OTC US: AMYZF) (FSE: 2AM)  is pleased to announce that it has applied to upgrade its position in the public markets and increase its visibility to a wider range of investors by up-listing its common shares listed for trading from the OTC Pink Open Market to the OTCQB market, a U.S. trading platform that is operated by the OTC Markets Group in New York. The listing of the Company’s common shares on the OTCQB remains subject to the approval of the OTCQB and the satisfaction of applicable listing requirements.

The OTCQB is recognized by the Securities and Exchange Commission as an established public market providing public information for analysis and value of securities. As a verified market with efficient access for U.S. investors, OTCQB helps companies build shareholder value with the goal of enhancing liquidity and achieving a fair valuation.

“We believe listing American Manganese on the OTCQB market will provide increased liquidity and trading capabilities in our Company’s common shares for both institutional and retail investors,” said Larry Reaugh, President and CEO of American Manganese Inc. “With our recent lithium-ion battery cathode material recycling technology development and emphasis on transparency, management believes that the Company is in the ideal position to up-list to the OTCQB Market and gain the increased visibility that the OTCQB provides.”

The Company will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under its existing symbol “AMY”, in Frankfurt under its existing symbol “2AM”, and in the U.S. under its OTC Pink Market symbol “AMYZF”.
