Consulting and engineering company Wood has been awarded an engineering scope for the Ngovayang iron-ore project, in southern Cameroon.

The award by Cameroon Mining Action (Camina), a subsidiary of Jindal Group Company, will see Wood deliver sustainable engineering and design solutions for the construction of the mineral processing plant, which is expected to produce up to 7.2-million tonnes of magnetite iron-ore a year.

Wood’s services will support the associated plant infrastructure, and a 130 km concentrate pipeline transport system to the Port of Kribi.

This engineering scope is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of this year and will largely be delivered by Wood’s Johannesburg office.

This is one of the first mines to be developed in Cameroon, and the award positions Wood as the leading engineering contractor for the country’s emerging mining industry, the company posits in a statement.

Camina has invested significantly in exploring the Ngovayang site over the past decade.

The Ngovayang project site is remote, mountainous and in a heavy rainfall climate, making the environment challenging and requiring complex engineering design solutions, Wood points out.

“Wood’s iron-ore processing capabilities and experience on similar highly challenging, complex and remote projects position us well to deliver this important project with Camina. We’re proud to be working on one of Cameroon’s first projects of its kind, partnering closely with Camina to ensure positive and sustainable outcomes for our client and their stakeholders,” says Wood Projects – Eastern Hemisphere president Gerry Traynor.

“The iron-ore market is expected to grow to nearly $400-billion by 2032 in line with the demand for critical energy transition resources. Projects like Ngovayang will become the blueprint for further developing Cameroon’s minerals and metals offering, positioning the country as critical to resourcing the energy transition,” he adds.
