UKREXPORT has direct access to miners of Manganese Ore in Dnepropetrovsk region of Ukraine. One open-cut mine in the town called Marganets (Manganese) apples only excavators, forklifts and trucks and yields over 50% of all Manganese Ore in Ukraine, which is estimated on the level of 2.5 billion metric tons in general. Another mine in the town Pokrov is also open-cut type but already applies rotor conveyors and uses intermediary warehouses on the way to concentration process. 100% of all Manganese Ore in Ukraine can be consumed domestically more or less quickly. Thus in reality its export is limited, not only by numerous local users but also by comparatively high moisture content (up to 25%) improper for bulk shipment inside bilges of ocean vessels. If it’s 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. 35% Mn is basic content, concentrated; optionally improved technology allows concentration up to 44% Mn also. Main fraction size lays within 0.25-0.75mm and apart of pure manganese the ore contains roughly 25% of manganese dioxide (MnO2) and roughly 20% of silicon dioxide (SiO2):

Mn 32-44%; MnO2 30% max; Fe 10% max; Al2O3 2% max; SiO2 25% max; P 0.02% max; S 0.01% max

Such are the technical and chemical particularities. But there’s no need to ask for our particular prices, as we always aim at Metal Bulletin’s FOB Elizabeth up-to-date quotations +10% logistical adjustment for less than 100,000mt parcel. For example, Metal Bulletin’s 37% Mn FOB index being $7.57 per dry metric tonne unit (dmtu) and the 44% Mn CIF index being $8.82/dmtu. After subtracting roughly 20% of moisture and adding roughly 10% for sub-optimal logistics, we quote $255/mt FOB Ukraine and $355/mt CIF China for our less or more enriched Manganese Ores respectively. $15/mt off on 35% Mn basis and final price makes $240/mt FOB Ukraine basis.

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% prior to main contract with miner.
