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
[edit]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
[edit]The Ngovayang mining lease straddles the main metre gauge Cameroon Railways.
Ports
[edit]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]
