    The goals are to assess the mineral processing technology to be deployed at a new plant which will be built near the Scully Mine site in Wabush, while helping to meet Canada’s need for manganese.

    Labrador MP Yvonne Jones announced an investment of $1.25 million to Tacora Resources Inc. towards a manganese processing operation. It will be a Manganese Sulfate Purification Plant to process the company’s manganese stockpile. Jones says “Newfoundland and Labrador is rich in critical minerals, having 24 on Canada’s list of 31 critical minerals. Our investment with Tacora Resources Inc. will assist critical mineral development in our region and help green our supply chain within the mining sector.” The company currently uses Manganese Reduction Circuits (MRC) which remove manganese and silica from their products, resulting in a higher grade iron ore. The goals are to assess the mineral processing technology to be deployed at a new plant which will be built near the Scully Mine site in Wabush, while helping to meet Canada’s need for manganese.
