Petrography and geochemistry of intraclastic manganese–carbonates from the ∼2.2Ga Nsuta deposit of Ghana: Significance for manganese sedimentation in the Palaeoproterozoic of West Africa. Journal of African Earth Sciences, Vol. 50, Issue. 2 …
The Birimian manganese deposits of Nsuta, southern Ghana, consist of Mn oxides and Mn carbonate. The Mn oxides are believed to be of supergene origin derived from the Mn carbonate proto-ore. While ...
The available constraints indicate that the deposit formed in the 2.0–1.9 Ga time interval, in the Orosirian period. The manganese-rich facies of the Kisenge-Kamata deposits range in composition from manganese carbonate rocks to non-calcareous deposits dominated by manganese-rich garnet. Associated rocks are mainly grey …
Simplified stratigraphic section of the lower Proterozoic Nsuta manganese deposit, Ghana, showing the position of Mn carbonate-bearing micronodules. The intraclastic rocks (which also contain micronodules) may actually grade into laminae containing only Ca–Mn micronodules. Inset is map of Africa showing the position of Ghana.
In the present study, we apply this method to ~2.2 Ga Mn-ore samples from the Nsuta Mn deposit of the Birimian Supergroup, Ghana (Fig. 1), aiming to constrain the redox states of the oceans during the O 2 overshoot. Manganese plays many roles in (bio)geochemical cycles on Earth.

Ghana, Amapa Group in Brazil, etc.). The carbonif erous rocks including carboniferous shales are also present as a part of the host rock section of many Phanerozoic manganese deposits. This situation has allowed some researchers to suggest the formation models of manganese ores associated with carbonifer
The manganese ore deposit, which is one of the precious minerals mined in Ghana is valued at 42.5 million tons in 2014. The development of this mineral in Ghana is reduced to mining, crushing ...
Ghana Manganese Company Ltd (GMC) is the only manganese producer and exporter in Ghana. The company is a privately-owned mining company (Consolidated Minerals Africa Limited -90% and Government of Ghana-10% free carried) that holds a mining concession for manganese over an area of 170 square kilometers in and around Nsuta in the …
1 INTRODUCTION. Manganese mineralization is widespread in the Birimian greenstone belts of Ghana, part of the province of the West African craton (Kesse, 1976).According to Leube, Hirdes, Mauer, and Kesse and Melcher (), manganese-rich chemical sediments tend to occur in transition zones between belt volcanics and basin sediments.In the …
The marine manganese deposits (MMD) include manganese nodules (also called polymetallic nodules or ferromanganese nodules), slab-type ferromanganese encrustations, and cobalt-rich crusts. Although first recovered in 1868 from the Kara Sea, off Russia (erstwhile the USSR), probably the first detailed scientific investigation of MMD was …
Carbon and oxygen isotope analyses of manganese-bearing carbonates from the Palaeo-Proterozoic Nsuta manganese deposit, Ghana, suggest important relationships between isotopic composition of the Mn-bearing carbonates and lithology, locality and carbonate microfacies. Lithologically, δ13C and δ18O PDB values obtained …
only operating manganese mine in Ghana is at Nsuta near Tarkwa with 37 Mt of manganese ore reserves (Kesse, 1985). Since mining activities began in 1916, the …

Ghana's geological landscape teems with diverse mineral resources with the commercially exploited ones being gold, diamond, manganese and bauxite. In 2021, gold accounted for 96.98 per cent of gross mineral revenue while the respective shares of manganese, bauxite and diamond were 2.57 per cent, 0.42 per cent and 0.03 per cent.

Manganese is widely used, 90%~95% of the world's manganese is used in the metallurgical industry, the rest in the battery industry, ceramic industry, chemical industry and so on. According to the characteristics of ore-bearing rocks in the process of mineralization, the world manganese deposits are divided into five types, including …
Ghana was also the third-ranked producer of manganese in africa, accounting for 7.9% of world production. Other mineral commodities produced in Ghana included aluminum, …
At this time, the South African (the Kalahari manganese ore field), Gabon (Franceville basin deposits), Ghana, Brazil, India, etc. deposits were formed, which encompass at least 70% of land reserves of manganese. ...

Intraclastic Mn carbonate rocks occur in the marginal areas of the manganese–carbonate orebody (manganesestone) of the Palaeoproterozoic Nsuta deposit in the Birimian of Ghana.
Abstract The manganese deposit of Nsuta, in the Ashanti Belt of Southern Ghana, is sandwiched between Birimian metasedimentary rocks. The metasedimentary rocks contain interbedded carbonate-rich layers, which exhibit a characteristic banded appearance near the contact with the orebody. The orebody is a carbonate-type manganese-formation …
