Information
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the IGCP Project No. 226. (Correlation of
Manganese Sedimentation to Paleoenvironments, 1986-1991) workshop held in Úrkút in
1989, the organizing committee plans to hold a short course in the Úrkút-Ajka area of
Hungary. It is the aim of this workshop to provide an overview of recent developments of our
understanding of the geology and genesis of manganese deposits. Lectures will be presented
by a group of distinguished international experts, and should be of interest to academic,
government, and industry geoscientists alike.
Scientific program:
Day 1 (5th, September, 2009)
Prof. Dr. Nicholas J. Beukes (University of Johannesburg, South Africa) – Precambrian
manganese deposits geological setting, metallogenesis and paleoenvironmental implications
Prof. Dr. Jens Gutzmer (Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany, and University of Johannesburg,
South Africa) – The giant Kalahari manganese field, South Africa
Prof. Dr. Michael Bau (Jacobs University Bremen, Germany) – Trace element scavenging
mechanisms in marine manganese and iron oxide and carbonate sediments throughout Earth
history
Day 2 (6th, September, 2009)
Tamás Vigh, István Farkas (Mangán Ltd., Úrkút) – Úrkút Manganese Mine, past, present,

manganese formations
Márta Polgári C.Sc. et. al. (Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary) –
Characterization and genetic aspects of the Úrkút Manganese deposit. The role of microbes in
manganese accumulations in low temperature aquatic systems
Dr. Habil. Tamás G. Weiszburg et al. (Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Department of
Mineralogy, Hungary) – Mineralogy of the Úrkút Manganese deposit
Lóránt Bíró (Szeged University, PhD school) – 3D modelling and mathematical-statistical
study of the manganese deposits, Úrkút.
Day 3 (7th, September, 2009)
Prof. Dr. Barrie R. Bolton (Monash University, Australia) – Geological setting and
metallogenesis of Phanerozoic manganese deposits
Economics and market conditions for manganese today and exploration methods of landbased deposits – general perspective
Prof. Dr. James R. Hein (USGS, Menlo Park, USA) – Genesis and evolution of marine
manganese deposits, economic issues, exploration methods, and international activities
Written chapters of the presentations for the booklet is needed till 30, June, 2009 (instructions
will be on the home page of the short course)
2 days of excursions (8-9th, September, 2009): Manganese deposits at the Úrkút Mine (visit

FOR AUTHORS
Please use the following format for your abstracts (5-8 pages) (Submission date: 30,
June, 2009)
REPLACE THIS SENTENCE WITH THE TITLE OF YOUR ABSTRACT. A. B. Author1 and C. D.
Author2, 1Affiliation (include full mailing address and e-mail address if desired) for first author, 2Affiliation for
second author (full mailing address and e-mail address).
Introduction: Replace these instructions with the text of your abstract. Do NOT delete the section break
above. The text will appear in one column. (Please make sure your paper size is set to U.S. letter, 8.5" × 11",
before submitting your abstract.) Page margins are set to be one inch on all sides. If you are including tables or
figures, they MUST be imported into this file.
The text will automatically wrap to a second page if necessary. The running head on the second page of this
template has been eliminated intentionally.
Digital Formats: Any image file format that can be imported into this file will be acceptable for
publication; to avoid technical problems, we suggest using TIFF (.tif) or GIF (.gif) files for photographs, and
encapsulated PostScript (.eps) or Windows metafiles (.wmf) for line drawings. We ask that you use smallerformat files whenever possible (for example, don’t use a 1-MB TIFF file if a 250-K GIF file provides acceptable
resolution).
Heading Styles: The section heads in this template use the correct style (upper and lower case, bold,
followed by a colon). The format for second-level heads is show below:
Sample of a level-two head. Automatic paragraph indents are imbedded to appear every time you use a hard
return. If you’re using the spell checker and it doesn’t seem to be working, check the “Language” option under
the “Tools” to make sure that “No Proofing” isn’t selected as the default. You should also check that the default
font is Times New Roman and not New York (this conversion takes place on some Macintosh systems).
References: Use the brief numbered style common in many abstracts, e.g., [1], [2], etc. References should
then appear in numerical order in the reference list, and should use the following abbreviated style:
[1] Author A. B. and Author C. D. (1997) JGR, 90, 1151–1154. [2] Author E. F. et al. (1997) Meteoritics &
Planet. Sci., 32, A74. [3] Author G. H. (1996) LPS XXVII, 1344–1345. [4] Author I. J. (2002) LPS XXXIII,
Abstract #1402.

preparation of your abstract, send an e-mail message to rodokrozit@gmail.com.
