Manganese Extractive Cost Tracker
The manganese market has traditionally been shaped by steel trends with all steel production requiring manganese. While steel demand will continue to be the main driver of manganese consumption, its use in lithium-ion batteries is generating huge new demand for manganese oxides and sulphate. Use the manganese extractive cost tracker to compare manganese operation production costs across the industry. The cost tracker allows you to examine current and historic cost performance on an asset-by-asset basis, comparing financial performance from 2015 to now. The tracker enables a user to understand the forces underpinning the costs of manganese mining, normalised on a US$/t Mn ore and US$/t contained Mn basis.
