Rana Gruber has today published a production update for the fourth quarter of 2025. Production of iron ore concentrates in the fourth quarter reached 428,000 metric tonnes (478,000 metric tonnes in Q4-24).
Production of iron ore concentrates ended at 1.81 million metric tonnes in 2025, in line with capacity and production volumes in 2024. Rana Gruber has, over the past years, increased both quality and volumes, according to the company’s high-grade strategy. Lower volumes in Q4-25 compared with previous quarters are mainly caused by production disruptions and lower recovery following the quality improvement. Mitigating measures to improve recovery will be implemented in Q1.

Production of magnetite continued its strong trend, reaching 57,000 metric tonnes, up from 54,000 metric tonnes in the same quarter last year.
In early January 2026, the company started ore production at Stensundtjern in the western part of Rana Gruber’s mining area. Of the total waste rock removal of 1,394,000 metric tonnes in the fourth quarter, waste rock from Stensundtjern amounted to 893,000 metric tonnes. Waste rock removal up to the start of ore production will be capitalised as stripping costs.
Volume sold of hematite in the fourth quarter was 424,000 metric tons. This corresponds to seven shipments of approximately 60,000 metric tons each. One of these seven shipments was sold to Asia as previously communicated. The final settlement of these seven shipments will be January (3), February (3) and March (1)
