Another is the plan to sell higher-grade manganese. |
yep, JMS has doubled since the Groote Eylandt mine owned by S32 was hit by a cyclone and shut down in March this year. There is significant structural damage with estimates that the closure will cost South32 about $200 million and disrupt shipping for six months.Jupiter shoots past 40c up from 17.5c a few months ago.

The CEO of Jupiter stated "For our manganese grade [the price] most of last year was between $US3.50 and $US3.55, which was quite low by historical standards, so a lot of mines went out of production and that increased prices."
“After the GEMCO incident had occurred, the price increased to $US4.80 and most recently it’s $US6.25, so in the last few weeks it has increased rapidly due to concerns about a supply shortage given how important GEMCO is in the global supply chain.”
Jupiter is the largest manganese miner on the ASX, with a 49.9 per cent stake in the Tshipi project in South Africa. Tshipi is one of the five biggest producers of manganese in the world, and is expected to have a mine life of more than 100 years.
South32 also produces manganese in South Africa.
