Record production achieved in trying circumstances

Higher production at Vanchem coupled with another stable year at Vametco saw Bushveld deliver record annual vanadium production in 2022, though the adverse impact of electricity load shedding on the ramp up of Vanchem meant that the full-year total narrowly missed the group’s target. We still anticipate a return to positive EBITDA for 2022 and further earnings growth this year as Vanchem continues to gather pace. However, evidence of positive progress on load-shedding mitigation measures at Vanc

IOG (IOG LN) - Southwark update – flow rate not improved
