In January–April, the Ferrexpo Group cut production of iron ore pellets by 0.2% to 3.7 million tons compared to the same period a year earlier, according to Interfax-Ukraine.
In April, the Company produced 960 thousand tons of iron ore pellets.
Importantly, the Company is expecting an increase in production of iron ore pellets in H2 2021 following the modernization of production facilities scheduled for H1. Production output is expected to increase by 0.5–1 million tons per annum due to the upgrade.
The Group is also going to introduce additional volumes of iron ore concentrate into the market to be sold in 2021, resulting from the investment made in 2020 with the purpose to expand the Group’s processing capacities.
