ECA Aids France in African iron ore development plan
Paris Aug 12 A dormant plan to develop iron ore in French West Africa advances toward final stages. Conakry Mining Co hopes to start ore shipments by late 1952 with Marshall Plan funds of 1 975 650 used to buy U S mining gear and to develop Conakry port. Counterpart funds released with ECA approval will finance port work and equipment. Surface ore is 15 million long tons with a deeper layer of 150 million long tons, both ~51 percent iron. Production expected 500 000 tons in 1952 rising to 3 million annually by 1954, with British and German buyers in the mix and France’s 1948 consumption at 25 million tons.
