  "account": "Norwegian mining company Nordic Mining reported that its third-quarter production of rutile increased by 74% compared to the previous quarter, reaching a total of 2,190 tonnes. Additionally, garnet production for the same period stood at 11,161 tonnes, surpassing the company's expectations by about 20%. Nordic Mining had updated its production plan in August, and the company successfully met the rutile production target. Garnet production showed a 10% increase from the previous quarter, when it stood at 10,127 tonnes. The rutile output in the second quarter was 1,262 tonnes, while in the second quarter, the company milled 311,122 tonnes of ore, marking a 7% increase from the previous quarter. To support the increased production, Nordic Mining brought in a dedicated ramp-up team from Hatch, which is providing technical assistance to stabilize the plant feed, enhance mill grinding processes, and optimize wet and dry plants. Production volumes initially showed a positive trend towards the end of September. However, operations have experienced minor disruptions in October due to local protests, though the plant remains operational and producing.",
