Recent findings after five years of work by the World Bank and the Ministry in charge of mines, the discovery of over 300 new mineral occurrences in Cameroon. Through Aeromagnetic and gravimetic surveys followed by geochemical and geological studies with over 18,0000 samples collected, significant occurrences of diverse minerals ranging from gold, Co, Ni, Mn, basemetals, Rare earth elements Uranium Rutile and many others were identified in five regions of the Country. Before September the number of new occurrences as per estimates by the World Bank will largely exceed 500 in the five regions while awaiting final results from two other regions.
Details of this great discovery, the largest since independence will be made available by the World Bank sponsored project Precasem in the 3rd edition of the Cameroon International, Investment Mining and Exhibition Conference. It will be an opportunity to show case our computerized mining Cadastre and the above mentioned discoveries. These new mineral discoveries add up to the already great existing potential with Cameroon hosting the main part of the Central African Iron Ore Belt that stretches from Congo through Gabon to Cameroon along which are found World class iron ore deposits like the Mbalam ( Sundance of Australia), the Nkot iron deposit (Caminex) the mamelles iron ore of Kribi (Sinosteel of China), the largest lateritic Cobalt- deposit in the world at Lomie (Geovic) the Rutile of Akonolinga, the 2nd largest bauxite reserves in Africa (Minim martap).
The International Conference under the high Patronage of the President of the Republic will bring together many top mining companies and specialists of the Mining and Quarry operator sectors, Government and World Bank officials, financial Institutions, insurance companies, laboratories and drilling companies under the theme:
New mining opportunities in Cameroon. Evidence of more than 300 new mineral occurrences presented by the World Bank and the Ministry of Mines, Industries and Technological Development.
The conference will also showcase the revised investor friendly Mining Code and other sectoral incentives offered by the Cameroon Government to Mining Companies.
The Cameroon government therefore specially invite you to be part of this great event in the mining History of our Country.
As of April 2008, Cameroon has no industrial mining history. Cameroon undeveloped mineral resources include bauxite, cobalt, gold from lode deposits, granite, iron ore, nepheline syenite, nickel, Cobalt and rutile. Strong metal and industrial mineral prices since 2003 have encouraged companies to develop mines. The Nkamouna enriched cobalt-nickel-manganese-iron laterite deposits and several other nickeliferous laterite deposits in southeast Cameroon were first discovered and investigated by the United Nations Development Programme(UNDP) during 1981-1986, in a cooperative project with the Cameroon Ministry of Mines, Water and Energy to evaluate mineral potential in southeastern Cameroon. Due to the remote location and the low nickel prices at the time, the discovery did not draw much attention. No further exploration took place on the property until geologist William Buckovic became aware of the nickel discovery in 1988.
The southeast region and nearby regions in Gabon, Republic of the Congo, and Central African Republic have few producing mineral deposits and few with near-term production potential. Most of this region is underlain by Proterozoic granite-gneiss-schist terrains. Within the region, ultramafic rocks, the original source of the cobalt and nickel, are confined to the project area. There has been no previous production of minerals from the project area.
Gold is artisanally exploited from stream gravels in parts of Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, and Central African Republic. However, the U.S. Geological Survey 2002 estimate for total gold production from all four countries combined is less than 1,600 kilograms, or less than 50,000 ounces per year. The portion of this yield from within a 300-km radius of the Geovic Project is likely on the order of 20,000 ounces per year, a relatively insignificant amount by international comparisons. In the southwest part of the Central African Republic, alluvial gold is accompanied by small quantities of alluvial diamonds in streams which drain Cretaceous sandstone and conglomerates exposed further east. The Cretaceous formations do not extend into Cameroon .
