Our country is located in the heart of Africa. Its strategic position in the Gulf of Guinea, its bilingualism, its abundant natural resources, qualified skilled labour force, immense potential in energy, competent labourers, ports, roads and railways make it the negotiation centre of the CEMAC zone for mining,” indicated the State Secretary to the Ministry of Mining, Industry and Technological Development, Fuh Calistus Gentry, on March 18, 2015 in Yaoundé.

Fuh Calistus Gentry made this assertion when he was presenting the second International Conference and Exhibit on Mining in Cameroon (CIMEC) to the press; an event held by Cameroon in collaboration with Ame Trade from May 27-29, 2015 at the Palais des Congrès in Yaoundé.

He affirmed that “CIMEC is the perfect platform to gather mining sector businessmen in Central Africa who are seeking partners to develop, improve, diversify and grow their operations and experts, entrepreneurs, lenders, financial institutions and banks to discuss financing matters, and also invest.”

The conference’s theme is “Developing Central Africa’s mining sector for current and future generations.”
