2. Poland

Metric Tons: 9.5

In 2007, Poland initiated the mass production of Rhenium from its domestic sources According to AZO Mining, Poland emerged as the fourth largest producer of Rhenium in 2010, primarily due to the efforts of KGHM Polska Miedz S.A., the country’s sole copper mining and production company back in the day. In addition, during that same year, KGHM Ecoren S.A. became a prominent player in the European market by being the exclusive producer of ammonium perrhenate (APR) and metallic Rhenium.

Notably, KGHM Ecoren accounted for approximately 9% of the global Rhenium output at that time, highlighting its significant role in the industry. This surge in Rhenium production has strengthened Poland’s position in the global market and showcased its potential as a key player in this sector.
