With an annual production capacity of 6,000 tons of explosive emulsions, 10,000 Anfos and 3,000,000 pieces of detonators, the factory built by the Chinese group Norinco via its subsidiary Auxin Mining Service (AMS) and inaugurated this Thursday, August 23 by Mohamed Diané, Guinean Defense Minister, aims to mitigate the import of explosives for mining and infrastructural construction, or even military.
Located in Boké, a northwestern mining corridor where about 14 companies and mining companies operate, 5 of which are in operation, this plant will create 200 direct and indirect jobs, according to Deputy Director General of the NORINCO Group, Zou Wencha.
The Nitrokemin mining contractor, which was relatively free in this sector, will have to adapt to this shattering Chinese group, which is supported by the government which welcomes the start of the framework agreement with China.
