Manganese X Calls for Swift Action on North American Battery Supply Chain Amid China Controls

Manganese X Energy Corp. urges rapid development of a North American battery materials supply chain in response to Chinas strict export controls affecting electric battery components.

• Manganese X CEO Martin Kepman emphasized the critical need for a local supply chain for electric battery materials as China enforces new export controls on key minerals.
• Effective November 8, 2025, China will impose stringent regulations on the export of materials essential for electric vehicle manufacturing, including those used in cathode production.
• The new export controls from China threaten the availability of crucial components for electric batteries, prompting Manganese X to call for immediate action among North American stakeholders.
