¹World totals and estimated data are rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown.
²Includes data available through June 2, 2015. Data pertain to concentrates or comparable shipping product, except that in a few instances the
best data available appear to be for crude ore, possibly after some upgrading.
³In addition to the countries listed, Cuba, Greece, Pakistan, Panama, and Peru may have produced manganese ore and (or) manganiferous ore,-
but available information is inadequate to make reliable estimates of output levels.
⁴May be average content of each year-s production rather than for content of typical products.
⁵Metallurgical ore.
⁶Production of beneficiated ore as reported in Sum-rio Mineral, 2009-2013 by Brazil-s Departmento National de Produҫ-o Mineral, except-
where noted.-
⁷Reported by the International Manganese Institute.
⁸Includes manganiferous ore.

MANGANESE ORE: WORLD PRODUCTION, BY COUNTRY^{1, 2}

⁹The International Manganese Institute estimated Chinese manganese ore production, in gross weight and Mn content, respectively, to be, in
metric tons, as follows: 2009-15,000,000 and 2,700,000; 2010-17,000,000 and 3,100,000; 2011-23,000,000 and 4,140,000;-
2012-23,000,000 and 4,140,000; and 2013-23,000,000 and 4,140,000.
¹⁰Calculated metal content includes allowance for assumed moisture content. Includes ore and sinter.
¹¹Mostly oxide nodules; may include smaller quantities of direct-shipping carbonate and oxide ores for metallurgical and battery operations.
¹²Category represents the combined totals of Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Chile, C-te d-Ivoire, Egypt, Georgia, Hungary, Indonesia, Iran,-
Morocco, Namibia, Romania, Russia (concentrate), Sudan (manganese ore exports), Thailand, Turkey, Vietnam, and Zambia.
