Ferroalloys

We produce and market chrome ore, ferrochrome and vanadium, and we are one of the world's largest and lowest-cost producers. We also market manganese ore and alloys.

Uses of ferroalloys


Ferrochrome

Most of the world's ferrochrome is used in the production of corrosion resistant steel, more specifically stainless steel.


Manganese alloys

Most of the world's manganese is used in carbon steel production.


Ferrovanadium

Vanadium alloys are used to strengthen specialty steels for use in niche and high-end applications. It is also used in the production of vanadium redox batteries.



Our assets

Our chromite assets are held via our majority stake in the Glencore–Merafe Chrome Venture, and our vanadium assets via our majority shareholding stake in the Rhovan-Bakwena Vanadium Venture.
