Nimba iron ore mine
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The Nimba project is in the Guinean Nimba Mountains of south-eastern Guinea, on the borders with Liberia and Cote d’Ivoire. Nimba is a high grade, direct shipping ore (DSO) deposit. Owned by High Power Exploration (HPX), development of the Nimba project will be dependent on securing a viable transport infrastructure solution. While the preferred solution is access to the existing Liberian rail, it depends on ArcelorMittal's agreement. Located in a classified UNESCO World Heritage site, obtaining the necessary environmental approvals and mine development will also be complex for Nimba. In late 2022, HPX released a new production plan with a much lower initial capex.
