Australia's only manganese smelter, located at Liberty Bell Bay in northern Tasmania, is closing immediately after administrators were unable to secure a buyer for the facility. The smelter was previously owned by the GFG Alliance before entering administration.
The closure represents the end of manganese smelting operations in Australia. The facility had been seeking a buyer through the administration process, but no viable purchaser emerged, leading to the immediate shutdown decision.
