The western border county of Daxin County,Chongzuo City, Guangxi, which enjoys the reputation of “Hometown of China’s Manganese Ore”, by relying on rich Manganese ore resources and its advantages of direct land access to ASEAN countries, is dedicated to building up China’s largest Manganese industry base and national model zone for development of circular economy in the Manganese industry,its Manganese industry is developing from “resource oriented type” to “innovation oriented type”.

In this South China border county contiguous with Vietnam, up till now the proven reserve of total Manganese reserve is as high as 138,000,000 tonnes, with a grade of 32.18%,accounting for one quarter of China’s Manganese ore reserve, the Xialei Manganese mine inside the county territory is also the biggest Manganese ore deposit that has been detected in China.

According to related info, during the “Eleventh Five Year” period, the total installed capacity of Daxin Manganese ore mining and smelting enterprises has reached 254,200KVA,annual production capacity has reached 600,000 tonnes; annual production capacity of electrolytic metal Manganese has reached 100,000 tonnes; the annual production capacity of electrolytic Manganese dioxide has reached 30,000 tonnes. In 2010, the Manganese industry achieved output value of RMB 4.089 billion yuan. At present, Daxin’s outputs of electrolytic metal Manganese, Manganese sulfate,natural discharge Manganese powder rank top in the world.

Both its industry foundation and main body are located in the China’s largest Manganese industry group CITIC Dameng Company in Daxin County, its industrial output value and sales revenue last year both topped 5 billion yuan, making it one of the most competitive enterprises in the global Manganese industry.Daxin County government has decided to,based on such foundation, rely on the two leading enterprises of CITIC Dameng and Xin Meng Group to establish two large “aircraft carriers” in Manganese industry through M&A,in order to construct high-end Manganese processed product base and low carbon Manganese alloy base represented by mercury-free alkaline Manganese battery, and Manganese lithium battery, strive to increase the output value of Manganese industry to over RMB 6 billion yuan 2011; by the end of the “Twelfth Five Year” period, the total output of the countywide Manganese products is planned to reach 4,000,000 tonnes.

As a resource-oriented pillar industry of Daxin,Manganese industry at present has developed to the stage of industrial transformation period,Daxin will upgrade existing mining, dressing and smelting enterprises, extend Manganese fine and deep processing industrial chain, speed up the pace of Manganese industry to realize optimization and upgrading, in order to build up China’s important eco Manganese industry demonstration base, and develop national standard model county for development of circular economy in Manganese industry and China’s biggest Manganese industry base.
