Eramet’s manganese ore business generated €290 million in revenue in the third quarter of 2026, up from €221 million a year earlier, a rise of 31%. Results released on 29 October cover Comilog’s mining operations and associated rail transport activities in Gabon.

Revenue for the first nine months of the year reached €871 million, compared with €745 million in the same period of 2025. The wider manganese segment, including alloys, recorded quarterly revenue of €482 million.

The increase came even as the manganese ore market remained in surplus and prices declined during the quarter, according to Eramet. The group reported that rail volumes transported rose 7% from the third quarter of 2025, supported in part by modernisation work on the Trans-Gabon Railway.

Across the group, adjusted revenue reached €746 million, up 4%. Eramet is also pursuing a proposed €500 million capital increase before the end of 2026.
