Top 5 Manganese Reserves by Country

Manganese, a key ingredient for the steel market, is also seeing growth in demand from the electric vehicle battery sector, particularly when it comes to high-purity manganese chemical products.

Manganese investors are often interested to hear which countries produce the most of the metal. After all, if a nation is producing a lot of manganese, many companies are likely operating there, and investment opportunities may thus be available.

However, what investors sometimes fail to consider is manganese reserves, or how much economically mineable manganese a country holds, and which companies are working to bring those reserves into production.

CRU Group told the Investing News Network that there are numerous manganese mining, processing and refining projects under development outside of China. However, many are a few years off from commercial production.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Euro Manganese Surges 82 Percent

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

US President Donald Trump announced a sweeping round of tariffs on Wednesday (April 2), including 10 percent on most countries along with more specific import fees directed at specific countries in an attempt to balance trade deficits.

Canada and Mexico were spared under the USMCA deal signed by Trump in 2019, with the exception of non-USMCA-compliant vehicles, which are subject to a 25 percent tariff. This sparked a 25 percent retaliatory tariff from Canada.

Top 9 Manganese-producing Countries

Market volatility has become the norm for the top manganese-producing countries in recent years.

In April 2024, manganese prices leaped upward in the second quarter due to Tropical Cyclone Megan significantly damaging the Groote Eylandt Mining Company (GEMCO) manganese mine in Australia. However, a surge in alternative supplies and the weak state of Chinese demand caused prices to pull back to their original level by September.

Manganese prices have remained flat in the first quarter or 2025. Looking forward, analysts are pinning further support for manganese prices on China's ability to right its economic ship. While the majority of manganese supply goes to the steel industry, there's also much to be said for the metal's use in lithium-ion batteries as the green energy transition progresses.
