This move is described as part of the country\u2019s stated ambition to strengthen its industrial base, initiated by H.E. President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema and his Government.<\/p>\n<p>A long-standing partner of Gabon and with over 30 years of presence in the country, Eramet has a track record as a committed investor in Gabon, supporting the country\u2019s industrial development ambitions through investing in sustainable mining operations, constructing value-adding transformation facilities and upgrading key infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Eramet acknowledges the Government\u2019s ambition and, as the main co-shareholder in Comilog, will continue to work with the authorities in a spirit of constructive partnership and mutual respect.<\/p>\n<p>Eramet will remain attentive to this policy shift and will work collaboratively to identify further opportunities for it to contribute to Gabon\u2019s economic development in the long term, whilst maintaining the sustainability of its mining and metals operations. In particular, the Group aims to safeguard the strategic role of Comilog and Setrag in being an internationally significant supplier of manganese to the global steel industry \u2014 and the 10,460 Gabonese jobs they sustain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":53784,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[84,44],"tags":[142,121],"class_list":["post-53775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance-en","category-group","tag-gabon-en","tag-manganese-en","nature-news","nature-press-release"],"acf":{"pdf":53772,"titre_du_pdf":"","pdf_rendering":true},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 -
