[Fellow]South 32 Manganese Mine Operation in the First Half of FY2021

Ferro-alloys.com:South Africa Manganese: South Africa Manganese saleable ore production increased by 5% (or 48kwmt) to 1,086kwmt in H1 FY21 following an extended shut in response to market conditions in the prior period. While we continue to monitor market conditions and the attractiveness of higher cost trucking, FY21 production guidance remains unchanged at 2,000kwmt.

We did not produce any manganese alloy in H1 FY21 as the Metalloys manganese alloy smelter remained on care and maintenance.
Australia Manganese: Australia Manganese saleable ore production increased by 3% (or 59kwmt) to a record 1,834kwmt in H1 FY21 as favourable ore characteristics supported strong output from the primary concentrator. The PC02 circuit contributed 10% of total production (H1 FY20: 11%) adding to the primary concentrator performance.
While we continue to monitor the potential impact from the wet season across the remainder of the financial year, FY21 production guidance remains unchanged at 3,500kwmt.
Manganese alloy saleable production decreased by 11% (or 6kt) to 51kt in H1 FY21 with GEMCO’s divestment of the TEMCO manganese alloy smelter completed subsequent to the end of the period. The effective completion date of the sale for accounting purposes was 31 December 2020.
