It is in this context that SONAMINES S.A. operates, being firmly committed to seeking technical and financial partners for the development of its projects, which include the Akonolinga rutile project, the Nkamouna cobalt-nickel-manganese project, the SIKOUM limestone project, the Mbilntangan and Alouma quarry projects, the construction of a gold refinery and the setting up of a laboratory for mineralogical analyses.<\/p>\n

The delegation from the Chinese financial institution thus had the opportunity to review SONAMINES S.A. project portfolio and will act as a bridge between the young organisation and Chinese companies.<\/p>\n

This first meeting between the two institutions laid the foundations for future cooperation geared towards the financing of SONAMINES S.A. projects.<\/p>\n
