Manganese
Manganese Judging by the news release a bit more effort is being put forward into the manganese resource potential.

The link above shows a value model on bajas boleo property with the value of the manganese at 51.9 percent of the property by value. Of course our economic valuations allow zero for the manganese. The forecast is to mine the zinc and cobalt with a negative cost on the copper. That alone is incredible but when looking at the total resource of the property the manganese is more valuabe then the zinc cobalt and copper combined. Now with mention of manganese tire kicking would anyone half any experience with costs on manganese concentrate. I would make the assumption the mining is free as we pick up that cost in the processing of the copper. The cost of processing the concentrate has to be fully prorated to the manganese.
I guess I am asking the 64 dollar question but would anyone have any info that could enlighten me a little or even best guesstimate on what the potential impact of processing the manganese would net to baja and if the grades here are of low medium or high value on the manganese component. I haven't seen any mention and forgive me if someone or the company has already, thouroughly covered this issue.
