The portfolio includes the Gaoual project where the Government of Guinea recognizes a 3-5 billion tonne iron deposit potential. Two additional green-fields exploration blocks; Beyla-N'Zérékoré and Faranah make up a large land package of approximately 1,900 sq. km.

Iron Ore (Definition):
A rock from which metallic iron is extracted. The ores of iron are mainly oxides of hematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4). When the concentration exceeds 60% iron then the ore is referred to as direct shipping ore or DSO. At Gaoual the iron is predominately hematite whereas the iron at Faranah and Beyla-N'Zérékoré is magnetite."
