The Carbonate Replacement Deposit model suggested

The variety of mineralization within the sediments at Lucky Cuss and Ground Hog, suggest that the Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) model could be more extensively spread over the Silver Strike property than originally expected and that the limits have not yet been found. CRD is typically a high-temperature carbonate-hosting Ag-Pb-Zn deposit formed by the replacement of sedimentary, usually carbonate rock, by metal-bearing solutions in the vicinity of igneous intrusions that play the role of heat source. With some local variations, ore body geometries could vary from chimneys to veins to the blanketlike body along the bedding plane of the rock, it is then commonly called a manto. Those Polymetallic replacements/mantos are often stratiform wall-rock replacement orebodies distal to porphyry deposits (copper or molybdenum). The presence of abundant manganese on the Silver Strike Project is typical in that environment and reinforces the potential CRD deposit.

Manganese uses: Batteries

Manganese’s main non-metallurgical application is in dry-cell batteries. Manganese dioxide is used to form the cathode for both alkaline and non-alkaline dry-cell batteries. Many are familiar with alkaline batteries, the most common battery, although some may not realize they contain manganese dioxide as a key ingredient.

Lithium-manganese-oxide batteries

There are also lithium-manganese-oxide batteries, commonly called lithium-manganate or lithium-ion-manganese batteries, or li-manganese or spinel. The technology for this type of battery was first discovered in the 1980s, with the first publication on the subject appearing in the Materials Research Bulletin in 1983. The first commercial lithium-ion cell made with lithium-manganese-oxide as a cathode material was produced in 1996 by Moli Energy.

Lithium-manganese-oxide batteries are notable for their high thermal stability and are also safer than other types of lithium-ion batteries. As a result, they are often used in medical equipment and devices. These types of batteries may also be used in power tools, electric bikes and electrical hobby uses; it is even possible to use them to power laptops and electric powertrain cars.

Lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt-oxide batteries

Lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt-oxide batteries, also known as NMC batteries, are another type of manganese battery. Lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt-oxide batteries are made of several materials common in other lithium-ion batteries. Like other varieties of lithium-ion batteries, NMC batteries can have either a high specific energy or high specific power, and are most commonly used in power tools and in powertrains for vehicles.
