The Houlton Woodstock Manganese Property includes the historical Moody Hill, Sharp Farm, Iron Ore Hill and Maple Hill manganese‐iron zones. In July 1953, K.O.J. Sidwell, in a report titled “Preliminary Report on the National Management Limited Property at Woodstock, NB” reported, based upon limited diamond drilling and a gravity survey manganese iron, resources of 25 million tons at Iron Ore Hill, 10 million tons at Moody Hill and 8 million tons at Sharp Farm (The resources cited above are historical, are not a current mineral resource or reserve under NI 43‐101 regulations, are not being considered by the Company as current resources or reserves, have not been reviewed by a geologist of the Company and should not be relied upon).
A significant drill campaign will be undertaken to outline the historical mineralized zones and delimit potential resources. The New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources has reviewed the proposed initial exploration program planned for this year and has allocated a $40,000 matching grant to support the exploration.
Manganese has many uses including in new alkaline batteries and rapidly developing lithium ion manganese batteries where MnO2 acts as the primary cathode material. This developing technology is promising as the magnesium‐oxide components are abundant, non‐toxic and provide better thermal stability. Manganese is essential in the production of stainless steel and as an alloying agent with aluminium.
Mr. Dahn is the qualified person for this press release.
Sunset Cove’s mission is to acquire and advance high potential mining prospects located in North America with the intent of supplying value added materials to the lithium ion battery and other alternative energy industries. For more information visit the website at www.sunsetcovemining.com.
