Glencore lifted ferrochrome production in the three months to September 30 as it brought idled smelting capacity back online. The company said it continued the progressive restart of its ferrochrome smelting operations, with Boshoek restarting in September and Wonderkop in October, following Lion earlier in the year. As a result, its attributable ferrochrome output rose 29% quarter on quarter as the progressive restart of smelting operations continued.
Own-sourced zinc production dropped 23% to 547,200 t, while own-sourced nickel production rose 4% to 54,600 t. Attributable chrome ore production declined 7% to 2,553,000 t. Production guidance for 2026 remains unchanged.
