Abstract
This relatively simple deposit illustrates the way manganese oxide Minerals can accumulate in a laterite profile. The manganese originated as a metamorphosed manganiferous sediment; quite unworkable in itself, but which has been concentrated on an old erosion surface, and which also carries ferruginous and aluminous laterites.
