ABSTRACT:
A process for treating a first metal, manganese-containing ore comprising contacting the manganese-containing ore with an aqueous, acidic composition and a material containing at least one metal sulfide at conditions effective to (1) chemically reduce at least a portion of the manganese, (2) solubilize at least a portion of the metal from the metal sulfide, and (3) at least partially liberate the first metal from the ore; and recovering the first metal from the ore. The use of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and/or added ferric ion in the contacting step are also disclosed.
