Advancing technology and mandated global climate policies are driving a transition towards the electrification of energy. Electricity use is outstripping overall energy demand, led by the transportation sector. Alongside this, demand for renewable power and energy storage is growing significantly. New sources of metals and advanced materials essential to EVs, rechargeable batteries and other high-tech industries are required to meet anticipated future demand.
These 'electric metals' are under great supply-demand tension, particularly in the USA, and are considered critical strategic metals by many nations around the world.
Electric Metals (USA) Limited (EML) is a Canadian-listed, US-focused, mineral development company founded to support the electrification of energy and to capitalize on the widespread use of renewable energy.
The company's flagship asset is the Emily Manganese Project in Minnesota, USA, which contains North America's highest-grade manganese resource. Manganese is a key metal in the EV / energy storage revolution due to its prominent role in lithium-ion battery formulations.
EML also owns two silver projects in Nevada, USA. Silver is a versatile metal, used in many high-tech and industrial sectors, with the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of any metal, along with the highest light reflectance level.
