Eramet SA operates as a mining and metallurgical group focused on the extraction, processing and marketing of metals essential for sustainable development, including manganese, nickel, mineral sands and lithium. The company produces manganese ore and alloys such as high-carbon ferromanganese, silicomanganese, low- and medium-carbon ferromanganese, and low-carbon silicomanganese from its Moanda mine in Gabon; nickel ore, ferronickel, high-purity nickel, nickel chlorides, nickel carbonates, cobalt chlorides and ferric chlorides primarily from operations in New Caledonia and its 38.7% stake in PT Weda Bay Nickel in Indonesia; mineral sands including ilmenite and zircon from the Grande Côte Operations in Senegal; and lithium carbonate via direct lithium extraction at the Centenario-Ratones plant in Argentina, with additional reserves at Arizaro. Eramet serves markets in steel production, batteries, alloys, aerospace, energy, electronics, fertilizers and pigments, with geographic operations spanning Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas and Oceania; founded in 1880, it is headquartered in Paris, France. Recent developments include regaining full ownership of the Centenario lithium project in October 2024 by acquiring Tsingshan Holding Group's 49.9% stake for $699 million, enabling first lithium carbonate production in December 2024 and a planned ramp-up to 24,000 tonnes per year; a May 2025 strategic partnership with Danantara Indonesia and INA to support nickel downstream industry development; initiation of discussions with the Gabonese government following the end-May 2025 announcement of a crude manganese ore export ban starting in 2029, aimed at exploring co-created ore transformation options; revised 2025 production targets in July 2025 amid H1 challenges, including manganese ore transport of 6.5-7.0 million tonnes, nickel ore external sales of 36-39 million wet metric tonnes, and lithium carbonate output of 4-7 thousand tonnes LCE; sustained investments in rail capacity in Gabon at around 130 million euros and mineral sands expansion in Senegal at 50 million euros; and controlled group capex of 400-450 million euros for the year.
