The Maple Mountain mine is a mine located in the north-east of the United States in Maine.Maple Mountain represents one of the largest manganese reserve in the United States, having estimated reserves of 341 million tonnes of manganese ore grading 9% manganese metal.
Primarily, the manganese ore is composed of the minerals braunite, bixbyite, and hausmannite, with subordinate iron and silica. [ 1 ] [ 6 ] Typically, the manganese ore bodies are 5–20 m thick, with strike lengths of up to 10 km. Depth extension reaches up to 400 m, with reserve estimates exceeding 100 Mt, with a life-of-mine of approximately ...

Mining near Chiatura. In 1972, facilities put into operation in Chiatura included new mines equipped with ore-dressing plants, a central final concentration plant for processing low-grade manganese ores into higher-grade ores, a central flotation plant, a plant for dressing carbonate ores, and a number of enterprises designed for improving the grade of ores.
In 1917, three men—B.R. Jefferson, B. Edwards, and J. Marrs—discovered a manganese deposit with a high concentration of 20% to 40%. [6] Coinciding with World War I, open-pit mining operations began at the mine the same year, supplying the United States military with manganese for military equipment such as steel combat helmets.
