History
American Manganese was founded in 1987 as a mineral exploration and development company and is led by the President and CEO, Larry Reaugh.

In the early 2000's, the company took over the manganese deposit at Artillery Peak in Arizona. In an attempt to develop their low-grade manganese mine in Arizona, the company had contracted Kemetco Research to develop a technology capable of recovering manganese at a grade of 2-3%. It was then discovered that the same technology developed for recovering low grade manganese ores can be used to recover 100% of the cathode material in lithium-ion batteries.

In November 2017, the company announced that they have filed patents for their technology on recovering cathode material from electric vehicle lithium-ion batteries.
