Availability and Extraction: Brazil has manganese deposits located in various regions, including Minas Gerais, Pará, Amapá, and Mato Grosso do Sul. Just like nickel, extraction is predominantly conducted in open-pit mines, with some exceptions for underground operations. We ensure that our approach to manganese extraction is efficient and sustainable, maximizing the mineral's value while meeting international market needs with environmental responsibility.

Applications: Manganese (Mn) is an essential metal that, while not in its pure form, is widely used in various industrial and commercial applications. Its versatility is due to its various chemical forms and compounds, which play important roles in sectors such as metallurgy, agriculture, and pharmacology.

Consumer Goods: Batteries, matchsticks, glass, fireworks, fungicides, smoke suppressants, gasoline additives, among others.

Industrial Equipment: Metal and alloy industry (production of metal alloys and steel), chemical, leather, and textile industries, agriculture (fertilizers), potassium permanganate as an oxidizer and bleaching agent, as a contrast agent in MRI, and more.
