The world is running out of high-grade manganese ore, and the shortage may be closer than expected. With an average ore grade of just 24%, most global deposits are low-grade and require advanced processing to be viable.

Expanding production capacity is no longer just about mining more—it’s about making lower-grade deposits economically viable. As traditional high-grade reserves are depleted, the industry must turn to technology-driven solutions to maintain supply.

At Green Manganese, we are working on a more sustainable and efficient extraction process that doubles manganese recovery from low-grade ores and industrial waste while significantly reducing environmental impact. Our technology makes processing these lower-grade sources economically viable, helping secure a stable, long-term supply of this critical mineral.
