Manganese Ore and Its Alloys

Special counsel Joseph Green was a panelist on the ​“Manganese Ore and Its Alloys” roundtable at the North American Ferroalloys Conference. Topics included:

• What are the challenges to reducing excess inventory from manganese producers?
• Will China continue to enforce stricter environmental policies and shut down non-compliant plants next year? How will this affect exports to North America?
• With manganese ore’s continued contractions, how will supply dynamics be affected?
• What effect will the new ore projects have on manganese prices, if any?
• Are smelters anticipating a price fall and reduced buying?
