Manganese is a chemical element with the symbol Mn and atomic number of 25. It is found as the free element in nature (often in combination with iron), and in many minerals. The free element is a metal with important industrial metal alloy uses.
The Postmasburg Manganese Field's (PMF) history began with early geological mapping in 1930 and local prospecting in 1940s. [1] Systematic exploration in the 1950s led to discoveries at Gloria mine (1953), Nchwaning mine (1955), Mamatwan mine (1957), and Wessels mine (1958). Mining commenced with Gloria Mine in 1957, followed by Nchwaning in ...

Manganese oxide is used as an oxidising agent; as a rubber additive; and in glass making, fertilisers, and ceramics. Manganese sulfate can be used as a fungicide. Manganese is also an essential human dietary element, important in macronutrient metabolism, bone formation, and free radical defense systems.
Tar Creek is an area of 1,188 square miles located in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, within the Tri-State district of lead and zinc mining in Northeastern Oklahoma, Southwestern Missouri, and Southeastern Kansas. The first mining took place in Missouri around 1850. By 1908, sites had been started in Miami, Picher, and Commerce. The construction of ...
The Chiatura mine complex which includes four underground mines and three open pit quarries has an annual production capacity of 1.18 million tonnes of manganese ore and 400,000 tonnes of manganese concentrates. The mine complex transports its manganese ore by rail to the ferroalloy plant located in Zestaponi. [1]
In Kansas City or even Salina, 40 miles southeast of Lincoln, a builder who spends $150,000 to construct a new home can safely assume it will sell for far more than $150,000, ensuring a profit.
Since many deep seas are extremely dependent on the hard substrate of manganese nodules in their food chain, another option would be to leave at least a few tracks of nodules left and to not harvest them. Due to the extremely long growth rate, the mined manganese nodules will not return for millions of years.
