Emang manganese is upgradeable, Segue confirms

Proactiveinvestors.com reports that Australia-based Segue Resources has confirmed that manganese mineralisation from South Africa's Emang Manganese project can be upgraded through dense medium separation or simple jigging.

The Emang Manganese project lies within the Postmasburg Manganese Field, which hosts several major manganese deposits and is part of the largest manganese producing region in South Africa. Segue aims to discover manganese mineralisation capable of supporting a 500,000 - 1,000,000 tonne per annum operation for at least 10 years.

Segue will now embark on a second phase testwork program that will use fresh ore from trial Emang project mining pits; assess product quality, determine the most effective and efficient metallurgical processing route to meet customer requirements; and complete an initial metallurgical processing plant flowsheet. This investigation may also determine if the gangue material content of the concentrates can be further reduced and if manganese can be separated from iron within the concentrate. This 6 months long phase is expected to start in the second quarter of 2012.
