    Industry Analysis & Industry Trends

    The Manganese and Other Mineral Mining industry has performed poorly over the past five years. Industry revenue is expected to decline at an annualised 6.2% over the five years through 2016-17, to $1.4 billion. The decline in revenue has been largely due to weaker global manganese prices and lower production volumes. In 2016-17, revenue is expected to decline 3.8% due to lower industry production volumes and weaker export revenue.

    Manganese is used in iron smelting and steel manufacturing processes as a key raw material to strengthen steel. As a result, global steel production levels largely determine demand for manganese, with China being the most significant buyer of the industry’s output...

    Industry Report - Industry Products Chapter

    Companies operating in the Manganese and Other Mineral Mining industry primarily mine manganese ore. Other metallic mineral ores mined by the industry include tin and tantalum. A small portion of industry revenue is also derived from mining tungsten, chromite and platinum group metals.

    Manganese ore

    Manganese ore is mined via open-cut mining methods and is the industry's major product, although its share of revenue varies from year to year with the volatile price and production of manganese. Manganese ore is projected to account for 81.2% of industry revenue in 2016-17, down as a proportion of industry revenue over the past five years, due to lower manganese prices and volumes. Fur..
