A Canadian company exploring for manganese in the Matthews Ridge, Region One area,Bacary Sagna Manchester City Jersey, has announced significant finds with multiple beds discovered.According to Reunion Gold,Angus Gunn Jersey, yesterday, the finds will further expand their potential in the area.“Drilling program has confirmed the strike extent and vertical continuity of significant manganese mineralization in four target hills of the Matthews Ridge Project,” the company said. “Widespread mantle-type mineralization in the weathered profile confirms the supergene enrichment of host rocks,Dejan Lovren Jersey, amenable to simple earth-moving extraction. Two new manganese occurrences with strike lengths of 300 to 400 meters were discovered two km north of the former Matthews Ridge manganese mine area and initial trenching at the westernmost discovery occurrence indicates multiple manganese beds.”The Matthews Ridge Project is located in northwest Guyana, in and around the former Matthews Ridge and Pipiani mines, 260 km northwest of Georgetown,Roberto Firmino Liverpool Jersey, the capital city of Guyana. Manganese ore was mined from 1960 to 1968 by Union Carbide and exported via a railroad and a fluvial port. Mining was done on five of a series of nine hills extending for 12 km. The manganese-bearing sequence is known to have an overall strike extent of 40 km and remains largely unexplored.In late 2010, the company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Reunion Manganese Inc.,Efrain Velarde Jersey, obtained four exploration licences covering an area of 45,729 acres and embarked on an aggressive exploration program consisting of mechanized trenching, diamond drilling and ground geophysics with the objective to delineate a NI 43-101 compliant resource.Manganese is the fourth largest metal consumed in the world,Eriq Zavaleta Toronto Shirts, behind iron, aluminum and copper. It is a key component in steel and iron production with no viable substitute, and in short supply.
