Canyon Resources Limited’s Managing Director Philip Gallagher has reportedly confirmed that the existing Camrail rail network located adjacent to Minim Martap Project is capable to transport commercial tonnages of bauxite to Cameroon’s largest city, Douala.

This he confirmed after completing an initial independent assessment. An assessment has also been carried out on the proposed rail extension from Douala to the Kribi Deep Water Port in order to ensure ground conditions.
Canyon’s managing director Phillip Gallagher said: “A logistics solution is a crucial component of the Minim Martap Bauxite Project and we are pleased with the very positive feedback from this assessment of the existing rail infrastructure, in particular, that ongoing maintenance and upgrade works are underway.”
According to Canyon, Minim Martap Project is one of the highest grade bauxite deposits globally, especially after the recent discovery of high-grade inferred resource zone consisting of 250.9 million tonnes at 50.8 per cent aluminium oxide and 1.9 per cent silicon dioxide.
Canyon has reportedly formed a working committee as well with Cameroon rail operators to identify a solution for Canyon to access existing rail line.
Mota-Engil is working with Canyon to provide a funding solution for the design, construction, and operation of the Kribi link rail line to be presented to the Government of Cameroon.
