Merafe ferrochrome hits 61 000 t year-to-date mark as smelter ramp-up proceeds

The Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed Merafe’s attributable ferrochrome production from the Glencore Merafe Chrome Venture of 61 000 t was 46% down in the nine months ended September 30 compared with the corresponding nine months of 2025. The decline in production was primarily attributable to the suspension of production at the venture’s Boshoek smelter from  May 1 last year and at Wonderkop smelter from 31 May 31 last year, Merafe outlined in a release to Mining Weekly.
