Kalahari Manganese Field geologic map. The N'chwaning mine (or N'Chwaning mines) are located in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa.N'chwaning has one of the largest manganese reserves in South Africa having estimated reserves of 323.2 million tonnes of manganese ore grading 42.5% manganese.

The PMF is situated within the Kalahari Manganese Field, a 2.5 Ga old Paleoproterozoic sedimentary basin in South Africa's Northern Cape Province. The PMF's stratigraphy comprises the Mamatwan, Gloria, Nchwaning, and Wessels formations, featuring manganese-bearing sedimentary rocks , iron-rich rocks, siliceous rocks, dolostone , and limestone .
The Kalahari Manganese Field (KMF) located in the Northern Cape of South Africa is a source of manganese. [11] Hotazel Manganese Mines, [12] near Hotazel; Khwara Manganese [11] Mokala Manganese [11] Tshipi Borwa Manganese Mine [11]
The Wessels mine is a mine located in the west of South Africa in Northern Cape. Wessels represents one of the largest manganese reserve in South Africa having estimated reserves of 198.8 million tonnes of manganese ore grading 55% manganese metal.
Olmiite is a rare calcium-manganese silicate that was named after an Italian mineralogist called Filippo Olmi. It was approved by the IMA in 2006, with its first description published in 2007. [ 1 ] Around 2001, a large amount of specimens believed to be poldervaartite was discovered at the N'Chwaning II mine, which is near the Wessels mine ...
Jacobsite is a manganese iron oxide mineral. It is in the spinel group and forms a solid solution series with magnetite. The chemical formula is (Mn,Mg)Fe 2 O 4 or with oxidation states and substitutions: (Mn 2+,Fe 2+,Mg)(Fe 3+,Mn 3+) 2 O 4.

Kutnohorite is a rare calcium manganese carbonate mineral with magnesium and iron that is a member of the dolomite group. It forms a series with dolomite, and with ankerite.The end member formula is CaMn 2+ (CO 3) 2, [6] but Mg 2+ and Fe 2+ commonly substitute for Mn 2+, with the manganese content varying from 38% to 84%, [2] so the formula Ca(Mn 2+,Mg,Fe 2+)(CO 3) 2 better represents the species.
Ettringite, 6.5 × 3.2 cm. N'Chwaning Mines, Kalahari manganese fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa Ettringite was first described in 1874 by J. Lehmann, [6] for an occurrence near the Ettringer Bellerberg Volcano, Ettringen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany.
