Manganese dioxide, which is abundant in nature, has long been used as a pigment. The cave paintings in Gargas that are 30,000 to 24,000 years old are made from the mineral form of MnO 2 pigments. [43] Manganese compounds were used by Egyptian and Roman glassmakers, either to add to, or remove, color from glass. [44]

The lowest level of the ore zone is a 0.1 to 0.5 metres (3.9 in to 1 ft 7.7 in) layer of massive manganese oxides and hydroxides with some manganese carbonate (rhodochrosite). Above this is the main ore zone, a 3 to 9 metres (9.8 to 29.5 ft) layer of plates of similar minerals between bands of clay, silica and iron bearing material.
Mining is considered to be similar to the potato harvest on land, which involves mining a field partitioned into long, narrow strips. The mining support vessel follows the mining route of the seafloor mining tools, picking up the about potato-sized nodules from the seafloor.
