UKREXPORT has direct access to sole miner of Manganese Ore in Dnepropetrovsk region of Ukraine. Open-cut mine in the town called Marganets (Manganese) yields roughly 90% of all Manganese Ore in Ukraine, which is estimated on the level of 2.5 billion metric tons. Same as Ukrainian Iron Ore, it goes mostly for domestic consumption and its export is limited not only by local users but also by comparatively high moisture content (up to 25%) improper for bulk shipment inside bilges of ocean vessels. If not bulk-hauled in trucks or wagons in the neighborhood, it has to be packed into jumbo bags to be allowed for transportation on decks of large ocean vessels taking on-board part cargos to remote destinations. Or else jumbo bags can be stuffed into 20ft/40ft containers when smaller trial quantities are needed. 37% Mn is basic content, however improved technology allows concentration up to 42% Mn. Main fraction size lays within 0.25-0.75mm and apart of min. 37% of pure manganese the ore contains roughly 25% of manganese dioxide (MnO2) and roughly 20% of silicon dioxide (SiO2):

Mn 32-42%; MnO2 30% max; Fe 10% max; Al2O3 2% max; SiO2 25% max; P 0.02% max; S 0.01% max

We can propose 10,000MT on monthly basis and consider up to 20,000MT on spot basis. Up to 5,000MT monthly is easier to ship in containers, packed in jumbo bags or wrapped inside one big container bag. 100% T/T prepayment applies only, including first 2% even prior to main contract with miner.
