Ferrexpo Resumes Production in Ukraine After Raising $100 Mln

7 September , 2026  

Ferrexpo, a mining and ore processing company with its main assets in Ukraine, announced the resumption of production at its facilities in Ukraine.

“We are pleased to resume production in Ukraine, and I would like to thank our team, which has once again demonstrated its dedication and determination by ensuring the resumption of operations over the weekend,” said Ferrexpo’s interim CEO, Lucio Genovese.

According to a press release, following the raising of $100 million, which was announced on September 4, 2026, the company took the necessary steps over the weekend, and production was resumed using one pellet production line.

Given the numerous documented incidents of attacks on ports and ships in the Black Sea, the company plans to focus on exporting products to customers in Europe, according to a Ferrexpo stock exchange announcement on Monday.

As reported in early August, Ferrexpo suspended production in Ukraine amid the constant threat of Russian attacks in and around Ukrainian ports in order to preserve working capital.

As of June 30, 2026, the group’s net cash position (excluding lease obligations) stood at approximately $21 million, compared to $25 million as of March 31, 2026, and $47 million as of December 31, 2025.

Ferrexpo owns a 100% stake in Yeristovsky GOK LLC, a 99.9% stake in Bilanovsky GOK LLC, and 100% of the shares in Poltava GOK PJSC.

The London Stock Exchange (LSE) suspended trading in Ferrexpo shares in May due to the company’s inability to publish its annual financial statements on time.
