AMR owns an exploration concession close to Boké city in Republic of Guinea (RoG). This bauxite ore project includes a mine with a crushing unit and all the associated ancillaries, as well as the transportation of bauxite from the mine to the port for export, with an expected production capacity of 5Mtpa of bauxite. The exploration license of bauxite ore project is located south-west of Boké City which is in the north-west of the capital, Conakry. For that purpose, AMR requested a scoping study to obtain an overall project definition with an estimation of the Capex vs Opex.
Rendel undertook all maritime elements associated with:
- Analysis of input data set
- Definition of transport options to study
- Final study of transport of bauxite from mine site to port
- Capex and Opex will be estimated with a 50% tolerance
- General layouts of rail and port areas
Rendel also provided an estimate of the existing infrastructure, evaluating the capacity and technical limits, as well as the financial constraints regarding the usage of public infrastructure.
