According to the Coega Development Corporation, an unnamed Chinese ferromanganese producer will be building a second manganese smelter in the Coega IDZ. The announcement was made through the Department of Trade and Industry at the launch of the South African Expo in China 2011, according to a report in Business Day. In May this year, Kgalagadi Manganese announced it was investing R4.2 bn in a 320 000-ton-a-year ferromanganese smelter at Coega. The second smelter – to be built at a cost of R3.8bn – will be owned and run by a privately owned Chinese company, which will export the beneficiated product for use by itself and its customers.
