London Mining upbeat about long term potential of Marampa iron ore mine in Sierra Leone

April 27 2012, 10:41am London Mining plans to invest a further US$2 billion in the Marampa mining operations within the ten years to boost its capacity to 16 mtpa

London Mining (LON:LOND) has delivered on its promise to rebuild the Marampa mine, which was oficially opened this week, drawing investors' attention back to the potential of Sierra Leone's iron industry.

At the opening ceremony, which was attended by president of Sierra Leone Ernest Bai Koroma, chief executive of London Mining Graeme Hossie outlined the company’s ambitious plans to expand the mine's capacity.

He also offered a bullish outlook for iron ore producers, noting that steel demand from emerging economies such as China, India and Latin American countries is on the rise.

"The demand for iron ore is growing and it is growing through the long term,” said Hossie.

“There is a lot of iron ore around the world and much talk of new supply– but who is really doing it now? And who is producing a high quality product? We are doing this here and now. And we will be growing."

London Mining is currently building a second plant, which is expected to be operational within one year, boosting production to five million tonnes per annum (mtpa).

The company has so far invested US$300 million in Marampa. A further US$2 billion will be invested in the mining operation over the next ten years to expand its production capacity to nine mtpa and 16 mtpa, over ten times the output of the historical mine.

“This means that Marampa is fast becoming a very big and very important mine on the worldwide stage indeed,” said Hossie.

“This is important, as Marampa’s success is Sierra Leone’s success. This is a great success.

"Sierra Leone can now once again say – it is a 'land of iron'. Because of Marampa, the world now knows this again."
