Guinea’s Junta Pledges Continuity on Mining Policies After Coup


Guinea’s military rulers provided “strong reassurance” to mining companies at a meeting Thursday after last week’s coup, said an official at the nation’s biggest bauxite producer.
The new leadership “reinforced the message from their first speech reassuring the mining sector about its importance and that miners will be allowed to continue their activities,” Frederic Bouzigues, general manager of Societe miniere de Boke.

“Existing regulations, contracts and investments will be respected,” said Bouzigues, who was among representatives of mining companies that met with the junta. “In return, they expect miners to respect their engagements with regards to contracts and continue local and environmental regulations and to continue local development work.”
