yeah, the limestone is the interesting thing. The drilling will determine the extent of limestone - which obviously will need to be removed first to get at the manganese.

Depending on the geology they might mine in strips to meet demand & shipping logistics. i.e. cut thru limestone in an x meter strip, ship that and then mine the exposed manganese next & ship that.

Or they could strip all the limestone first & stockpile it.’ Guess it’ll depend on Indo demand and actual mining abilities. I’ve no idea of the terrain difficulties there.

One weird thing (to me) is the total lack of info available on Raka Energi.
