Manganese is an essential commodity in the production of steel. Because the United States has no domestic resources from which manganese can be produced economically, the domestic steel industry and nation's economy are dependent on foreign supplies of manganese ores and ferromanganese. The Panel evaluated the available information on the known domestic deposits of the lower-grade manganiferous materials that might have to be used if self-sufficiency in manganese is ever required, together with the information available on processes that might be used to recover manganese from such domestic raw materials. Three resource areas and two processes are identified as the most promising. Specific research and development projects are recommended such as joint industry-government efforts to determine the most feasible resource-process combinations; development of detailed plans to ensure that, if necessary, production of manganese could be initiated with minimum expenditures of time and money; and research on conservation of manganese and maintenance of adequate stockpiles.
