Diversified miner South32’s manganese production increased by 3% year-on-year to 5.5-million tonnes for the financial year ended June 30. In a teleconference on Thursday, the company indicated that, with manganese as a primary resource, South32 would explore opportunities where it could invest in infrastructure improvements and upgrades at its operations, to improve the pace and maximise output –investment that could demonstrate a strong capital return for the company.
