The visit has been covered by the major news agencies of Cameroon.
The consultants and experts attending the site were selected for their expertise and ability to help expedite the development of the project and included groups currently working on the pre-feasibility study (PFS). The guests included experts in mining, logistics, rail, port, earthworks and roadbuilding as well as social and environmental impact consultants.

As part of the site visit a welcome and introduction gathering was held at the Project’s Bobodji exploration camp and was attended by the regional Sous-Préfet (Deputy Regional Administrator), local village chiefs, elders and other representatives of the local and regional Government.
The Camalco team presented the work completed to date which included the completion of a JORC 2012 mineral resource estimate, delivered within 12 months of the granting of the exploration permits. The sentiment was
overwhelmingly positive towards theproject and the proposed direction of the PFS and strategy for Projectexecution.
Canyon’s Director of Projects, James Durrant, hosted the site visit and commented: “It was extremely valuable to host the visit which brought different groups interfacing together with the sole focus of advancing the development of this globally significant bauxiteproject in a responsible and efficient manner.”
“The superb organisation of this visit is a reflection of the quality of the Camalco team on the ground in Cameroon, and I thank, on behalf of the business, all those that made it possible and who are contributing to our goal of bringing the Minim-Martap Bauxite project into production as quickly as possible.”
