This concession is the outcome of the signing of addendum n ° 1 to the mining agreement concluded on 3rd November 2017.

The signature comes after the transfer to the signatory company of the valid mining license for bauxite, previously granted in the department of Bongouanou to the company Lagune Exploitation Afrique SA. It is the result of negotiations between Côte d'Ivoire and the signatory company, within the negotiation committee which met on 10th and 24th June’20.

The approved document comes with an important section on the obligations of the company in terms of certification of reserves, compensation for affected populations and compliance with governance rules for commercial companies.

He also warned: “It is only at this price that the exploitation of the bauxite deposits of Bénéné will be able to be profitable to the populations of Bongouanou, to the government and our country.”
