The Postmasburg Manganese Field's (PMF) history began with early geological mapping in 1930 and local prospecting in 1940s. [1] Systematic exploration in the 1950s led to discoveries at Gloria mine (1953), Nchwaning mine (1955), Mamatwan mine (1957), and Wessels mine (1958). Mining commenced with Gloria Mine in 1957, followed by Nchwaning in ...
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.

Kuruman lies virtually on the edge of the Kalahari at the foot of a range of low hills. [7] It has relatively mild weather patterns compared to other Northern Cape towns, such as Upington and Springbok , and is surrounded by more vegetation than Upington and Springbok, which are mostly semi-arid to desert environments.
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]
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.
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.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he wanted Ukraine to supply the country with rare earths in return for financially supporting Kyiv's war effort against Russia. The remark appears to ...
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 ...
