“The Agreement aims to ensure financing, by the United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), of operational and maintenance expenses, as well as the conduct of a feasibility study for the construction and development of a vanadium processing operation in Balama, as part of the expansion of the Graphite Extraction Project at the Balama Mine, in Cabo Delgado,” reads the Council of Ministers statement.
