Communities
Mining and processing, by its very nature, can have disruptive impacts on the environment, including on local communities. At the same time, mining also delivers significant economic and social benefits to communities, including employment, local business development, tax and royalty streams, as well as education and health programmes. Our goal is always to maximise these benefits and minimise any disruptive impacts as much as possible.

Environment
Producing the materials the world needs means we have an impact on the environment. We work in remote locations and sensitive environments, where our activities have the potential to cause harm through pollution or land disturbance.

Opportunity For People
The Simandou project is imminently due to become the world’s largest greenfield mining project and the largest ever undertaken on the African continent. This once-in-a-generation megaproject will not only place Guinea on the world stage as a top global producer of high-quality, low impurity iron ore, it will also set a new benchmark for large scale project development throughout the region.

Simandou | SimFer Kibaro EP4

15 September 2025

Watch on YouTube

📻 L’épisode 4 de SimFer Kibaro est maintenant disponible !

Dans ce nouvel épisode de notre émission radio mensuelle en langue Konia, diffusée sur les Radios Rurales de Beyla et de Kérouané, nous poursuivons notre engagement de proximité avec les communautés.

Nous revenons sur les dernières avancées du projet Simandou, et mis en avant les progrès du contenu local et de développement communautaire, notamment à travers l’aménagement d’un étang piscicole à Wattaferedou. Cette initiative vise à garantir un accès durable aux poissons d’eau douce, une source essentielle de protéines pour les communautés riveraines.

🎤 Nous recevons également Mohamed Camara, l'un de nos directeurs qui se concentre sur la gestion des changements démographiques pouvant résulter de grands projets tels que Simandou.

SimFer Kibaro, c’est votre rendez-vous pour mieux comprendre l’évolution du projet Simandou, poser vos questions, et participer au dialogue autour d’un développement durable dans nos zones d’opérations.
