Ngovayang

Ngovayang is an iron ore mining site in the department of Océan, South Region, Cameroon. It is controlled by the Indian company Jindal Steel and Power.

History

In November 2013, the Australian company Legend Mining sold the Ngovayang exploitation to the Indian company Jindal Steel and Power.[1] The deal was sealed in August 2014.[2][3]

Transport

The Ngovayang mining lease straddles the main metre gauge Cameroon Railways.

Ports

The port of Douala on the existing metre gauge line has draft of only 8.5m, whereas the proposed more southerly port of Kribi has a draft of 20m, assuming that it were available on an open access basis. Indeed an agreement was signed between Sundance Resources and Legend Mining to this effect. [4]

gollark: Did it explode after SSL enablement?
gollark: <@231856503756161025> Please change your "host" option for irc.osmarks.tk to irc.osmarks.net. Also maybe try port 6697 and turn on SSL, it MIGHT work.
gollark: But the host can be changed separately in each thingy.
gollark: If I change the server name, all servers which do not update it will be disconnected until they do.
