Australia’s biggest onshore Mn deposit nears output

摘要

Australia’s largest onshore manganese deposit is expected to produce its first ore later this month, with the first offtake shipment to follow soon after. The first stage of the 263mn t (grading 10pc manganese) open-pit Butcherbird project in Western Australia is in its wet commissioning phase and on track to ramp up to its 341,000 t/yr production rate, project owner Perth-based Element 25 said.
