SNIM achieved a record level of iron ore production and sales in 2025, reaching around 14.7 million tonnes and surpassing the 14 million-tonne threshold for the third consecutive year, reflecting clear improvements in operational performance and sustained growth.
The company aims to increase production and sales to 15.5 million tonnes in 2026, focusing on enhancing efficiency across mining, production, and logistics, while diversifying export markets—particularly toward the Middle East—alongside continued shipments to Europe and China via the port of Nouadhibou.
As part of its long-term vision, SNIM plans to gradually expand capacity through industrial upgrades and the development of new reserves, targeting an annual production capacity of 45 million tonnes by 2031, which would further strengthen Mauritania’s position in the global iron ore market and reinforce the company’s key role in the national economy.
