en.Wedoany.com Reported - French mining group Eramet will gradually resume production of heavy mineral concentrate at its Grande Côte plant in Senegal by the end of April 2026. Following a major fire on February 22, 2026, which damaged the facility, current capacity has only recovered to 30% of its rated level. The company expects total heavy mineral concentrate production in 2026 to range between 300,000 and 400,000 tons.

The plant has adopted an additional dry processing unit as a temporary solution to supply feedstock for the wet concentration unit. This process allows for inventory replenishment to intermittently restart the mineral separation unit. Finished products are expected to begin shipping from this summer. Meanwhile, repairs to the damaged facilities within the plant are ongoing. Eramet plans to resume full production capacity in the first quarter of 2027.
