The domestic source of manganese for the steel industry in Canada, the U.S. and Europe.

Our closed-loop, water-based process recovers manganese from legacy tailings and low-grade ore that conventional smelting cannot treat economically. At market price, with no green premium.

There is no steel without manganese

Every ton of steel made today depends on manganese. It improves toughness, hardness and corrosion resistance — making it essential for infrastructure, transportation, energy and defense.

Supply chain

A resilient, domestic supply chain.

By processing local feedstock into finished product close to the customer, we remove the long, carbon-heavy detour through overseas smelting — and the tariffs and geopolitical exposure that come with it.

Conventional supply chain

1 Mine ore in Africa, Brazil or Australia
2 Ship raw ore to China for smelting
3 Refine, incurring high energy and carbon cost
4 Export back to North America & Europe
5 Import duties, carbon tax, geopolitical exposure

The Green Manganese approach

1 Recover manganese from local tailings & waste
2 Process on-shore at a Green Manganese plant
3 Deliver to nearby steel mills & foundries

Green Manganese process

Technology

Extracting manganese with water.

A closed-loop, water-based process that replaces acid leaching and smelting — recovering up to 95% of the manganese in the feedstock.

Feedstock

Turning tailings and waste into value.

Conventional processing depends on high-grade imported ore. Our technology unlocks sources that are already here — recovering manganese from material long considered waste, close to where steel is made.

Product

Metallized manganese pellets.

Above 85% manganese, with very low phosphorus and sulphur — a drop-in replacement for the alloys steel mills and foundries buy today.

Critical minerals

One process. Ten critical minerals.

The same process recovers other critical minerals present in the feedstock, among them cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc. Up to ten in total, depending on the source, all on the U.S. 2025 Critical Minerals List.

Conventional metallurgy needs separate refining steps and separate facilities for each of these metals. Ours recovers them in one integrated system.
