- Grangex AB (publ) (GRANGX.ST) is a Sweden-based mineral development company that identifies, acquires, evaluates, and develops mineral projects primarily in Scandinavia for responsible extraction and recycling to support Europe's green steel transition and critical raw materials supply. The company focuses on high-grade iron ore, phosphate-bearing apatite containing rare earth elements, and lead products; its core projects include the Sydvaranger iron ore mine in Kirkenes, Norway, producing direct reduction-grade magnetite pellet feed; the Dannemora iron ore mine in Östhammar, Sweden, targeting carbon dioxide-free production; the Grängesberg apatite project in Sweden, processing mine tailings for EU-critical phosphate minerals; and Sala Bly in Sala, Sweden, specializing in custom recycled lead products for defense and medical technology applications. Operations target industrial customers in the European steel sector and beyond, with exploration and development activities centered in Sweden and Norway.
Founded in 2006 and headquartered at Sandhamnsgatan 48A in Stockholm, Sweden, Grangex employs approximately 41 people and operates without noted subsidiaries or parent entities.
In recent developments, Grangex completed the acquisition of Sydvaranger Mining AS from Orion Resource Partners in May 2024, positioning it as a leading developer of direct reduction iron ore projects in Europe; secured multiple royalty financings from Anglo American totaling US$27 million since the acquisition, including an additional US$9.5 million in June 2025 for a 2% lifetime revenue royalty to fund feasibility studies and project financing with zero shareholder dilution; and published a Preliminary Economic Assessment in late 2024 confirming reduced capital expenditures for Sydvaranger's planned restart in 2027, alongside an ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study expected in Q3 2025. The company, formerly known as Grängesberg Exploration Holding AB, shifted strategically toward high-grade DR-pellet feed production and fossil-free operations.
