Grangex is a group that intends to be part of the European metal supply through the development of mineral projects for the extraction of primarily iron ore products, critical minerals such as phosphorus-bearing apatite and other minerals with a focus on rare earth elements (REE). The Sydvaranger mine in Norway is being developed primarily. The company is headquartered in Stockholm.

GRANGEX AB is a company unknown to many Finns, and even if one were to visit Kirkenes, Norway, one might not necessarily encounter the company’s most important asset and investment target, namely the enormous Sydvaranger iron ore mine, which has a glorious past behind it. The mine was founded in 1906, and production continued through the wars until 1997, when operations were shut down due to unprofitability. A new attempt was made after this in 2007, but the subsequent owner, Northern Iron, also went bankrupt with the mine in 2015. After this, the mine and Kirkenes awaited a new owner, and these hopes were answered in May 2024, when the Swedish company GRANGEX AB managed to secure financing to purchase the mine. The purchase price was 33 million USD, and at this price, GRANGEX AB thus acquired full ownership of the mine. In addition to Sydvaranger, GRANGEX AB has other projects, but since their impact on the share valuation is very small, it can be stated, with only slight exaggeration, that GRANGEX AB is synonymous with the Sydvaranger mining project. GRANGEX AB cannot alone develop the mine to full production; further financing arrangements are needed, for which, according to the company, all options are open. However, the Norwegian state provides a tailwind for the project, as, being a non-EU country, it can more freely support this project. Furthermore, the municipality of Kirkenes needs more jobs after the closure of the Russian border, meaning the state and decision-makers in Finnmark have significant goals for promoting this project themselves. Directly, the mine would employ 450 people, and indirect effects would, according to calculations, bring approximately 1000 additional jobs to the region. Last but not least, according to the latest estimates, the mine has every chance of generating strong cash flow throughout its lifespan. So far, everything is going well; at least on paper, the mine’s start-up is quick, the mine’s production is high-quality, the infrastructure is ready, permits are in order, and skilled labor is available. What could go wrong? In fact, the mine, and consequently GRANGEX AB, has one major production bottleneck that could determine everything, and that is the quality of production. Previously, this has been a challenge, but GRANGEX AB intends to solve it by using direct reduction with hydrogen. When constructing an investment thesis, one must practically take a stance on whether this production method will succeed, as everything else in this project has been pre-conceived, researched, professionally prepared, and partially financed. This investment story is simultaneously simple yet very challenging. It involves restarting production at an old mine, and with infrastructure, workforce, and permitting in order, the mine’s operational ramp-up can begin directly in 2027. However, the share price has been ‘finding its level,’ which has clearly frustrated Grangex’s management. One challenge likely lies in the fact that, despite its scale, this project is not widely known, even though comprehensive material has been prepared for investors and the company strives to be visible to small investors as well. Consequently, the share’s valuation is at an interesting level. This is naturally a high-risk investment, and it is highly advisable to study the investor material before even considering investing. Furthermore, individual news items can strongly sway this stock in one direction or another. On the other hand, the risk/reward ratio might be more favorable in this case because the company is likely still relatively unknown to the general public. I particularly encourage you to familiarize yourself with the project’s PEA and other extensive investor materials, as well as the assessments of industry experts and analysts. Hopefully, all the knowledge and expertise of the Inderes community will also accumulate in this thread, as this forum has analyzed other somewhat similar projects.

Here’s the mine’s PEA behind the link EDIT: More precisely, it’s an analysis based on the PEA, by Emergers. At this stage, it’s also good to emphasize that this should probably be read with a bit of a ‘reader/listener discretion advised’ approach.                   emergers.se - – 24 Jan 25              Equity Research | GRANGEX: PEA confirmns robust economics for Sydvaranger –...    With the dust settling after the acquisition of Sydvaranger and the updated DFS for Dannemora in Q2’24, the next steps for GRANGEX are now to complete a PFS (in H2’24) and DFS (mid 2025) for Sydvaranger and to complete the final project financing and...

Next up, DFS. There would be quite good cash flow available with relatively small investments. Judging by the share price reaction, there are still open questions, even though the cash flows look very strong. Of course, everything works beautifully, at least in theory, and a start would be expected by the end of 2026, but financing is still open.

Under the radar or not, the Sydvaranger mining project is progressing like a train. Latest update below:

I really had to double-check this. In the Aktiedagarna presentation, at around the three-minute mark, CEO Christer Lindqvist indeed says “…we also have all permits”. Whether he still leaves something essential unsaid on the side remains, of course, open to speculation, but on the other hand, at this stage, the permitting seems to be at least in good order. These are, of course, “listener’s responsibility” situations, because there is now great pressure to secure funding, and the temptation to leave something essential unsaid can be significant.

I guess there are still quite a few other steps before the mine can be set up. Someone would probably still need to do a Feasibility Study and then secure some kind of financing. Anglo certainly has a priority right and a strong interest in investing money in establishing the mine, but as I understand it, they don’t actually have an investment obligation. Only after that can the mine be opened, which never goes as smoothly as in the movies, so I’d say that the 2027 mine opening will very quickly become 2030  It’s extremely difficult to open a new mine in Norway, as we can see from the NOM example, so it sounds great that all permits are allegedly in order. I would double-check that, because it sounds incredible that there wouldn’t be any permit issues ahead, even though the FS is still ongoing. Otherwise, the production of DR iron pellets looks good as a business, and there should start to be a shortage of them in the 2030s, unless Ukraine manages to modernize its massive iron mines.

Here’s also the latest presentation as a broadcast from Aktiedagarna.
