Nigeria has over 5,000,000 MT of Manganese ore deposit in Nigeria. They are known to occur in the following states in Nigeria Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Kaduna, Plateau, Katsina, Kebbi and Nassarawa. Manganese is a silvery-gray metal resembling iron. It is hard and very brittle, difficult to fuse, but easy to oxidize.
Manganese is a chemical element with the symbol Mn and atomic number 25. It is a hard, brittle, silvery-gray metal that is commonly found in the Earth's crust. Manganese is an essential trace element that plays a crucial role in many biological processes, including metabolism, bone formation, and antioxidant function. It is also used in various industrial …

The first step towards a successful trading on manganese ore is to conduct a test on the sample on ore in order to know if it manganese ore or iron ore because of the similarity in the two minerals. Packaging is usually in 50 Kg since the price is quoted in Metric tons. 1000/KG makes 1 ton and this helps in easy containerization of the goods ...

Iron ore is one of the major mineral resources in Nigeria, with its largest deposit in Itakpe, Kogi State. Other states with substantial iron ore deposits include Bauchi, Gombe, Benue, Kaduna, Kwara, Kebbi, Nasarawa, Niger, Osun and Zamfara. Nigeria's iron ore is rated as one of the best globally due to its quality and high iron concentration ...
DISTRIBUTION OF MANGANESE DEPOSITS IN NIGERIA The manganese occurrences of north western Nigeria have been variously reported. Wright and McCurry, (1970) worked on the manganese deposits at Mallam Ayuba within the Maru schist belt. They observed that the manganese mineralization occurs in ridges for over 800m along a north- south strike and ...

the ore, the manganese is in complex combination with Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2. Only little free silica and Al 2 O 3 are present in the ore. The major manganese bearing mineral is spessartine/Almandine as indicated (Mn 3 Al 2 (SiO 4) 3.) This manganese bearing mineral is similar to the manganese ore found in Mallam Ayuba in Kaduna State (Yaro, 1998). In
