Manganese Co. Severely Undervalued

Technical Analyst Clive Maund reviews Manganese X Energy Corp. (MN:TSX.V; MNXXF:OTCMKTS) to explain why he thinks the company is currently seriously undervalued and a Strong Buy.

Manganese is classed as a critical mineral, and currently, there is no manganese mining production in the U.S. or Canada, which means it all has to be imported. South Africa is the biggest producer, followed by Australia, and although China is “only” responsible for 7% of world production, it is important that it produces over 90% of the world’s high-purity electrolytic manganese metal and high-purity manganese sulphate monohydrate.

Clearly, in an age of trade disputes with the rising potential for conflict, this is not a good situation for North America. Enter Manganese X Energy Corp. (MN:TSX.V; MNXXF:OTCMKTS), which is positioning itself to be the most significant supplier of manganese products for North America and Canada.

A key point is that Manganese X Energy Corp. is still several years away from production. However, it is moving in the right direction and is in possession of a major manganese resource at its appropriately named Battery Hill Project in New Brunswick which contains 34.86 million tonnes of measured and indicated mineral resources grading 6.42% manganese plus an additional 25.91 million tonnes of inferred mineral resources grading 6.66% manganese and within these tonnages somewhat lesser quantities at even higher grades.

Small wonder, then, that legendary investor Eric Sprott has a CA$2 million investment in the company. The company’s flagship project Battery Hill is in New Brunswick just over the border from the U.S. State of Maine and it is reasonable to presume that if Trump makes good on his expressed desire to take over Canada as another State of the Union, then paperwork involved in importing the company’s manganese into the other States of the U.S. will clearly be reduced. It is unclear, however, what State number will be assigned to the former Canada, as it depends on whether Greenland is taken over first.

Now, we will look at a number of pages from the company’s latest investor deck in order to get a better idea of what the company is about.

We will start with some general points. The following page shows the main producers of manganese in the world — Canada and the U.S. are conspicuous by their absence because, at present, they don’t produce any.

Global high-purity manganese demand is expected to grow rapidly through 2030, and even if this projection is overly optimistic, it should still expand significantly.

Manganese-based batteries look set to elbow out cobalt-based batteries, because they are much more economical, less toxic, and safer, and have a number of other advantages.

The trend is for much greater use of manganese in battery manufacture going forward.

Positive attributes of the company are shown below.

This page shows the location of the company’s main Battery Hill Project, just over the border from Maine in New Brunswick.

Basic details of the Battery Hill deposit are below.

The long mine life of over 40 years is a big plus.

PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment) highlights are here:

Here is the timeline to production, which looks set to start in 2028:

The company has a lot going for it and is currently seriously undervalued.

Whilst the number of shares in issue may be considered rather high at 244.6 million, less than half of them are in the float, as this cap table shows . . .

Turning now to the charts, we will start with the long-term 10-year chart to gain an overall perspective. On this chart, we see that after a dramatic and spectacular spike in 2020, there was another one that was almost as big early in 2021, but after that the stock went into a long and grueling bear market that continued for almost four years and took the stock down to just CA$0.02 by the time it hit bottom last November.

Basically, it couldn’t go any lower and was destined to either recover or face oblivion, and even on this chart, we can see the recent action, which indicates that it is recovering with the price breaking clear above its 200-day moving average, which has already turned up.

Now, we move on to look at it on a 2-year chart, this time period being selected as it reveals that, despite the price continuing to make new lows until last November, basing action began as far back as the Fall of 2023. Although hard to “pigeon hole,” the base pattern that is believed to have formed looks like a hybrid between a Cup & Handle base, with the Cup starting to form in the middle of last year, and a larger downsloping Head-and-Shoulders bottom, with the Left Shoulder building out in the fall of 2023.

The volume pattern suggests that the Cup & Handle interpretation is the most valid. But whatever we classify it as, price and especially volume action so far this year has been very bullish indeed, which probably reflects the fast-growing protectionist environment that we are now in, which will benefit companies that are set to be major domestic producers like this one. Although a completed breakout from this base pattern will not have occurred until it breaks clear above the band of resistance shown, which should lead to the stock accelerating to the upside, the action so far this year strongly suggests that this is going to happen, and sooner rather than later.

We can more comfortably review recent action on a 1-year chart on which we see that, following the dramatic high volume runup early in January which kicked off with a gap up which was clearly very bullish action, the price has run off sideways on much lighter volume to consolidate in a large Symmetrical Triangle which action has allowed time for the earlier overbought condition resulted from the January spike to unwind and for the 200-day moving average to swing into more positive alignment.

Note also how the On-balance Volume rose sharply on the spike and has stayed up on the consolidation. This is a very bullish setup and with the Triangle now closing up, the time is at hand for a breakout into another significant upleg that is thought likely to break the price above the key band of resistance soon on the 2-year chart.

The conclusion, therefore, is, with the price looking set to break out into another upleg, that Manganese X Energy Corp. is a Strong Buy here for all timeframes. Note that there are similarities between the setup here and that which existed for Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. (BLLG:CSE; BLAGF:OTCQB) when we bought it a few weeks back, just before it broke out and went on to make a more than 50% gain.
