Combined Mining and Pulp-Lifting of Ferromanganese Nodules and Rare-Earth Element-Rich Mud around Minamitorishima Island in the Western North Pacific: A Prefeasibility Study

Combined Mining and Pulp-Lifting of Ferromanganese Nodules and Rare-Earth Element-Rich Mud around Minamitorishima Island in the Western North Pacific: A Prefeasibility Study

An examination of the technical and economic feasibility of the combined mining of the rare-earth element-rich mud (REE-rich mud) and ferromanganese nodules (FN) around Minamitorishima (Marcus) Island in Northwest Pacific is introduced. A previous study showed that the mining of REE-rich mud around...
