Du 04 au 07 Février 2019 Mr Mamady Fofana Directeur Général  de la SOGUIPAMI a participé à  la 25 -ème edition du Forum Investing In Mining Africa INDABA à Cape Town (Afrique du Sud) .Il était accompagné de Mme Fatima Noelle Curtis, Chef du service Communication  et des Relations  Gouvernementales et de Mr Aly Badara Keita Responsable de la Commercialisation et du Transport des minerais.

C’était l’occasion  de non seulement soutenir la délégation guinéenne conduite par Mr Abdoulaye Magassouba  Ministre des Mines et de la Géologie mais aussi et surtout faire avancer les projets de développements miniers des permis actuellement dans le portefeuille de la SOGUIPAMI.

Mr Le Directeur General a également  participé à  un panel organisé autour du Country case study de la Guinée dont le thème principal était  la problématique de la diversification de la production des minerais  en Guinée . La SOGUIPAMI a réaffirmé son rôle de moteur commerciale au travers du discours de son Directeur General livré ci dessous :

 

1. Soguipami is in charge of managing the state’s mining portfolio. In that regard, the state mining company has an important role in the acceleration of the exploitation of mining assets. 

What strategies is Soguipami implementing to facilitate mining diversification?

Soguipamiis a privately managed commercial company regulated by OHADA , supervised by a Board of directors with up to date audited financials accounts. The GoG is the sole and unique shareholder. 

Soguipami is more than just being the custodian of the State Mining portfolio; we are also mandated to market and trade the share of the Guinean state in the mineral productionofeach individual mines across all minerals. 

In addition to being the dedicated commercial partner for high level governmental negotiations we‘ve been developing our own portfolio of mining assets through diversification across all minerals in order to build a solid pipe of future profitable and bankable projects.We aim at becoming an international powerhouse in the new 3 years. 

Back to your question

Diversification is mostly driven by a risk/reward approach at the portfolio global level.

Hence each single investment decision has to pass through this complex matrix

Our strategy started with our first asset acquired back in August 2017 composed of a world class bauxite mine (production to start at Q3 2019) ,

we then accelerated our development through gold and diamond exploration permits smartly identified and providing a good potential of discovery of  some new deposits ,

 and lately we are getting our footprint into the future with battery metals(e.g Nickel, Cobalt and lately Manganese).

For all these mining assets our objective is to identify the best ever technical and financial partners to develop those projects from exploration to exploitation .
