Manganese X Energy Corp. Announces Interim Chief Financial Officer

·

Executive Summary

Manganese X Energy Corp. announced a key leadership transition with the appointment of Andrew Gainsbury as interim Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. Gainsbury, who previously served as the company's Controller, brings extensive credentials including CFA and CMA designations along with over 16 years of experience in financial management across Canadian and Brazilian markets. His background includes senior roles at publicly-listed Canadian junior mining companies, chief financial officer position at a major Brazilian engineering firm, and senior consulting experience with Deloitte.

The appointment comes as former CFO James Richardson temporarily steps away from his duties due to medical reasons, though he remains on the company's board of directors. This leadership change occurs during a critical period for Manganese X as the company works to advance its Battery Hill project in Quebec, positioning itself to become the first publicly-traded manganese mining company in North America focused on EV-grade high-purity manganese production.

The timing of this appointment reflects the company's strategic focus on supplying the North American lithium-ion battery supply chain, an increasingly important sector as electric vehicle adoption accelerates. Gainsbury's expertise in strategic management, mergers and acquisitions, and fundraising could prove valuable as the company progresses toward commercialization of its manganese operations. His experience in corporate restructuring and international markets may also support the company's goal of developing more efficient, carbon-friendly processing methodologies while maintaining competitive cost structures.
