Orion CMC Eyes 37% Stake in Eramet as Governance Shifts Continue Orion Critical Mineral Consortium (Orion CMC), backed by US and Abu Dhabi interests, is considering acquiring a stake in French mining group Eramet.
The consortium is reportedly focused on the 37% holding currently owned by the Duval family.
Eramet has recently faced internal governance turbulence, including the dismissal of its CEO and finance chief, and is evaluating the sale of minority stakes in certain assets.
A possible entry of Orion CMC as a shareholder highlights how contested Eramet’s ownership structure may become, especially with the French state already in the register and governance issues still fresh.
You should watch how any potential transaction reshapes board influence, capital allocation priorities and the terms of any asset stake sales, as these factors could affect Eramet’s risk profile and access to funding. Annuncio • May 28

Eramet Group Announces the Fire At the Extraction Unit of the Eramet Grande Cote Site in Senegal Eramet announced that on February 22, at around 3:00 p.m., a fire broke out at the extraction plant of the Eramet Grande Cote site, a subsidiary of the Eramet Group in Senegal specializing in the mining of mineral sands. The facility, which had been shut down for several days for scheduled maintenance operations, was immediately evacuated and secured. No casualty or injuries have been reported. The fire was brought under control at around 8:00 p.m. Investigations are underway to determine its causes and assess its impact on the site's operations. As soon as the fire started at the WCP (Wet Concentration Plant) extraction facility, territorial and administrative authorities were informed, and a dedicated system was activated to ensure regular and transparent communication with neighboring communities regarding developments. The immediate intervention of Eramet Grande Cote's internal emergency response teams (ERT - Emergency Response Team), mobilized without delay in coordination with firefighters from nearby localities, made it possible to contain the situation and extinguish the fire. The teams then carried out cooling operations on the facilities while continuing to secure the affected perimeter. The safety of employees, contractors, and surrounding communities remains the absolute priority of the Eramet Group and its subsidiary Eramet Grande Cote. An investigation is ongoing to determine the causes of the fire, verify the overall condition of the plant, and assess the impact of the event on the site's operations. Initial findings indicate that the fire was contained upstream of the WCP and that the spiral concentrators used for mineral sands separation were not affected. The Eramet Group will provide further updates as soon as additional information becomes available. Reported Earnings • Feb 24
