Qiya Group Accelerates Multibillion-Yuan Mining and Port Project in Côte d'Ivoire for Integrated Resource Chain

The Qiya Group's major integrated mining and supporting port investment project in the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire is currently accelerating its implementation. Planned with an investment of tens of billions of yuan, the project integrates three major sectors—polymetallic mining, construction of a dedicated bulk cargo terminal, and ocean logistics, storage, and transportation—striving to establish a complete transnational industrial closed loop of "West Africa overseas resource base—China smelting and processing base."

The project adopts an integrated development model of captive mines and self-built professional terminals, ensuring full-chain independent and controllable operations from mining, beneficiation to storage, loading/unloading, and ocean transportation. Specifically, the self-built 200,000 mt professional bulk cargo terminal effectively avoids the high fees of external ports, while bauxite produced overseas can be directly shipped via captive ocean routes to the alumina base in Guizhou.

Proven high-grade bauxite reserves in the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire exceed 1.2 billion mt, associated with key strategic minerals including gold, manganese, iron, and rare earth. This project is based on such resource advantages, aiming to provide a stable and reliable upstream raw material supply for the Qiya Group's domestic aluminum-based new materials industry.
