Weighted average production cash costs rang in at US$28.9 per kilogramme of vanadium and full-year guidance of between 3,900 mtV and 4,100 mtV is being maintained. In addition, Bushveld said it remains on track to achieve an annualised steady-state production run rate of between 5,000 mtV and 5,400 mtV per year by the end of 2022.  "I am pleased to report a solid production update for the quarter to end-September, reflecting continued stability at Vametco and further ramp-up at Vanchem's Kiln 3,” said Bushveld chief executive Fortune Mojapelo in a statement.    “Despite ongoing power supply issues, the ramp-up at Kiln 3 has seen monthly production more than double from July's production. I am pleased to report that as a result of Kiln 3, total production at Vanchem has increased by 83% compared to the previous quarter," he added.
