Rana Gruber has today published the production update for the third quarter of 2024.
The concentrate production for the third quarter was 478,000 metric tons, below last year’s strong production of 503,000 metric tons. This is still above our internal expectations and the deviation from last year must be seen as a natural variation in a mining business. The robust magnetite production trend from previous quarters continues and is expected to remain strong in the upcoming quarters.
Volume sold of hematite was 403.000 metric tons and will be booked as revenue in the third quarter. This corresponds to six shipments of approx. 60.000 metric tons. In addition to the six shipments, one more shipment was initiated in the second quarter and completed at the beginning of the third quarter. Approximately 25,000 metric tons were recognized as revenue in the second quarter, while the remaining 35,000 metric tons will be recognized as revenue in the third quarter and settled based on the average September price.
Final settlement of the remaining six shipments will be September (1), October (1), November (2) and December (2).
