Black Canyon to study development potential of Wandanya manganese project
Black Canyon is assessing whether its Wandanya manganese project in Western Australia could produce ore for direct sale.
Direct shipping ore, or DSO, can be sold without extensive processing.
Whether a deposit is suitable depends on factors including ore grade, impurities and metallurgy.
Avoiding extensive processing could offer miners a simpler, lower-cost route to production.
Black Canyon managing director Brendan Cummins discussed these factors and the Wandanya project in a video.
An upcoming scoping study is expected to provide more information about the project's development potential.
