EnglishWhat is Manhattan Corporation and what does it do?
Updated
Manhattan Corporation is a mining and mineral processing company that positions itself as a "business partner in process and mining solutions." Based on its own site description, it offers turnkey mining and mineral processing equipment solutions — meaning it can take a project from concept through design, manufacture, delivery, and commissioning. If you are evaluating suppliers for a processing plant, equipment sourcing, or feasibility-stage testwork, this page explains what the company says it covers.
Core positioning: turnkey projects
The company's headline service is turnkey project delivery. According to its site, Manhattan can design, manufacture, deliver, and commission process plants according to client needs, overseeing the process "from concept to completion, down to the last bolt."
That framing matters if you want a single accountable partner rather than coordinating separate design, fabrication, and installation contractors. The trade-off is typical of turnkey arrangements: less direct control over individual subcontractors, in exchange for one point of responsibility.
Service lines
The site lists six service areas:
| Service | What it covers (per the site) |
|---|---|
| Turnkey Projects | Design, manufacture, delivery, commissioning of process plants |
| Process Plant Design | Multi-disciplinary engineering — mechanical, metallurgical, electrical, civil |
| Fabrication and Engineering | Main fabrication facility in a 240,000 m² engineering complex, plus a network of support firms |
| Equipment Sales | Equipment supply backed by 30+ years of mining and processing experience |
| Geology Exploration & GIS | Analysis of resource reports and bankable feasibility studies |
| Laboratory Test Work | Managed testwork campaigns via accredited labs and process specialists |
Two of these are worth separating out. Geology Exploration & GIS and Laboratory Test Work are early-stage, study-oriented services — relevant if you are still assessing a deposit or building a feasibility case rather than ordering hardware. Fabrication and Equipment Sales are later-stage and physical. A company offering both ends can in principle carry a project across the study-to-construction boundary, though you should confirm scope and capacity for your specific project directly.
Processing applications and commodities
The site states Manhattan offers solutions across a broad range of applications, including:
- Crushing and screening plants
- Milling and cyclone circuits
- Scrubbing and wash plants
- Dense media separation (DMS)
- Magnetic separation circuits
- Pan plants with Flowsort
- Spiral plants
- Heap leach plants
- Agitator tank systems
- Tailings dump reprocessing
- Underground and open cast overland conveyors
- Water recovery, filtering and degrit circuits
- Drying and final packaging plants
Commodity expertise claimed on the page spans:
- Gold — standard leaching, refractory, and alluvial processing plants
- Copper — oxide and sulphide processing, gold heap leach operations
- PGMs — platinum, palladium, rhodium recovery
- Lithium — spodumene and other lithium mineral recovery
- Chrome — gravity separation plants
- Coal — crushing, sizing, and upgrade plants
- Mineral sands — zircon, ilmenite, rutile processing and upgrade
- Tin, tantalum, niobium — recovery plants
- Base metals — comprehensive processing solutions
- Aggregates — crushing and sizing plants
If your commodity or circuit type is not on this list, that does not automatically rule the company out, but it is the first thing to raise in an enquiry.
Scale and reach
The page cites a 240,000 m² fabrication complex and states a global presence across 40 countries, with 80 mineral types covered by its solutions. It also references over 30 years of mining and processing experience.
These are self-reported figures from the company's own site. Treat them as claims to verify against references or site visits if the project scale justifies it — particularly the fabrication capacity figure, since it directly affects whether your equipment can be built in-house or subcontracted.
When this company is likely relevant
Manhattan Corporation is worth shortlisting if you:
- Need a single turnkey contractor for a mineral processing plant, from design through commissioning
- Are at feasibility or exploration stage and need geological analysis or managed lab testwork
- Want equipment supply for crushing, screening, DMS, gravity, or leaching circuits
- Are working in gold, copper, PGMs, lithium, chrome, coal, mineral sands, or aggregates
It is likely a weaker fit if you need only a narrow piece of the chain (for example, a single used equipment item) or if your commodity and circuit type fall outside the listed applications.
Practical next step
The site's contact path runs through its services and clients sections rather than a published price list — no pricing or payment details appear on the page. To get a usable answer, prepare a short brief covering: commodity, target throughput, circuit type, project stage (scoping, PFS, DFS, construction), and whether you want design only, equipment only, or full turnkey delivery. That lets the company respond with a scoped proposal rather than a generic capability statement.
