Mining

Resources proven on paper, awaiting the capital to prove them in the ground.

~11% of GDP
potential exports from a single phosphate mine (IMF estimate)

Why it matters

A phosphate deposit at Farim has a completed feasibility study; the IMF estimates operationalising it alone could add around 11% of GDP in exports.

Bauxite (Boé) and heavy mineral sands sit behind it. The constraint named repeatedly by the IMF is the same one: an investor with adequate financing.

The opportunity

  • Phosphate development and offtake at Farim.
  • Bauxite exploration and extraction at Boé.
  • Heavy mineral sands.
  • Associated logistics and captive power.

What's already here
