This project evaluates low-impact processes for extracting domestic manganese ores through lab testing and temporary outdoor validation. Bench-scale extraction and biological leaching trials will be conducted within existing laboratory facilities utilizing established chemical. Temporary, watertight tanks on private land will validate biological kinetics without discharge or soil contact.
