Communities



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.







Camalco’s Commitment:

Shared Prosperity


§Generate value for our shareholders.
§Foster prosperity among our domestic workforce through well-paying jobs.
§Stimulate local and national economic growth by prioritising local employment
and procurement.

§Embrace our social responsibilities to the people and government of Cameroon,

as well as to humanity at large
