  Spotlight on Geochemical Studies Outcomes for Mn Ore Deposits of Um Bogma, West-Central Sinai, Egypt
  Author(s): Metwally Hamza*
  
  Manganese ore is essential in industry, mining, laboratory experiments, and for whole life in general, that’s only because it’s widely used as sulfur-fixing, deoxidizing, and alloying metallic material. In this regard, Mn has medically considered a trace element that is present in a relatively small amount in the human body, an average of 20 mg. Manganese is the 12th most abundant element in the Earth's crust, which occupies about 1000 ppm of it, with a percentage of 0.1%. All soils in general contain about 440 ppm of such an element. In addition, the atmosphere’s manganese ratio is 0.01 μg/m3. The geology and mineralogy of the Mn deposits of the Um Bogma Region, in west-central Sinai, had been previously studied by some investigators. There is a dispute between investigators about the origin of the most economi.. View More»
