Iron Ore and Manganese Ore Metallurgy Conference

Date 05 September 2011
- 07 September 2011
Location Misty Hills Conference Centre, Muldersdrift, Cradle of Humankind, Johannesburg
We are no longer accepting registration for this event

South Africa has extensive iron ore and manganese ore resources. Globally it is an important producer and exporter of iron ore and manganese ore. South African iron ore supports the local iron and steel industry and South African manganese ore supports the local ferromanganese industry.

There are a number of iron ore and manganese ore mines in operation. There are also a number of projects being considered for development, greenfields mines and brownfields expansions of existing mines. The metallurgy of iron ore and manganese ore in South Africa is critical given that most of the deposits require beneficiation to produce saleable products.
