The company has increased stakes in Camrail (26.9%) and the Port of Douala operator (42.8%) to secure rail and export capacity. Trial mining began in April 2026, with rail, port, and rolling stock commissioning underway. First bauxite shipment is targeted for late September 2026, while offtake talks and a potential alumina refinery study (due Q3 2026) are ongoing.
