| The development of the Minim Martap deposit will not lead to any displacement of population, as the Adamaoua region is thinly populated due to its infertile soil. Moreover, the mining concession is entirely uninhabited. Only a few groups of nomads cross the area seasonally in search of pastures for livestock grazing, which constitutes their main economic activity. |
Refinery Project Maximising the value derived from metals extracted within Cameroonian territory stands as a pivotal and justifiable goal embraced by Camalco. The company aims to enhance the ripple effects within the national value chain, focusing on both upstream supplier relationships and downstream resource transformation.
Additionally, Canyon Resources, Camalco's parent company, is exploring the prospect of constructing and managing an alumina refinery in Cameroon. To this end, ongoing discussions are being conducted with national authorities and potential technical and financial partners to establish the necessary conditions for realising this project. |
