This document is a Pollution Prevention Plan submission from Samancor Manganese (Pty) Ltd (Metalloys) to the South African Department of Environmental Affairs, dated June 21, 2018. It outlines the facility's operational processes for producing ferromanganese and details commitments to improve greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting and implement energy reduction projects.

• Samancor Manganese (Metalloys) is transitioning its greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting methodology from Tier 1 to Tier 2 following a third-party verification of 2016 calendar year data. The company is utilizing a five-year transitional leniency period and committed to providing Tier 2 reporting data by December 21, 2018.
• The Metalloys operation produces high carbon ferromanganese (HCFeMn) using submerged arc furnaces (M10, M11, M12, and M14) and medium carbon ferromanganese (MCFeMn) via an Oxygen Blown Converter (OBC/M19). As of the report date, the North Plant furnaces (M10 and M11) and the West Plant M12 furnace are not operational due to poor market conditions.
• The facility utilizes an Electricity Generation Plant (Elgen) to burn off-gas from the North and West Plants to generate steam and electricity, with a design capacity of 50MW, which supplements the site's electricity consumption.
• Metalloys has committed to two specific GHG abatement and energy reduction projects: the installation of variable speed drives (VSDs) on the M14 closed circuit water cooling system to achieve a projected 40% saving in electrical consumption, and the optimization of the Elgen Plant's control systems to potentially improve the electricity ratio from 1.1 to 1.4 MW/kg of gas.
