South32 achieves record monthly output at its South African manganese operations

Diversified miner South32’s South African manganese operations produced 2.07-million tonnes of ore for the financial year ended June 30 – a similar level to that produced in the 2021 financial year.

The company says it produced higher volumes of premium material from its openpit Mamatwan manganese mine, in the Northern Cape, in the year under review, which offset the impact of scheduled maintenance in the March quarter.
