Consolidated Minerals, better known as Consmin, is one of the four largest producers of manganese in the world by volume, and holds a 90-percent stake in Ghana Manganese Company, which runs the Nsuta mine. According to its website, Nsuta has total reserves of 45.01 million MT grading 28.16 percent manganese, and total resources of 101.3 million MT grading 26.8 percent manganese. Consmin signed a 10-year supply deal with China’s Ningxia Tianyuan Manganese Industry in 2018.
Electric Vehicles need for these materials!
Since the beginning of 2016, cobalt’s price has jumped 120%, lithium has moved up 77%, and manganese has recorded a 42% gain. While all three metals have seen their prices rise recently, it appears that manganese has been outshined by its two fellow EV metal counterparts. We believe this situation will change quickly, as demand for manganese is set to outpace supply, especially for (higher-grade ) materials found only in specific corners of the globe.
Only a thought.......Ghana is 7th in the world rankings.... and it’s only 192 NM’s from Lomé
In 2018, more electric cars were sold in China than in the rest of the world combined. The Chinese government has spent nearly $60 billion in the last decade to create an industry that builds electric cars.
All of course open to conjecture!
