中國日報網7月24日電 據英國路透社7月22日報道，伊朗鋁業計劃在2016年底動工建設在幾內亞的Dabola-Tougue鋁礬土礦項目，預計基礎設施投資金額為5.5億美元。
伊朗鋁業在幾內亞注冊的公司Societe des Bauxites de Dabola-Tougue ，SBDT)，該公司2015年與幾內亞政府重新簽署了Dabola-Tougue鋁礬土礦的開采權基礎協議，獲得了25年的開采權。
在SBDT公司中，伊朗鋁業占股51%，幾內亞政府占股49%。
Dabola-Tougue鋁礬土礦位于幾內亞中部地區，礦區總面積為5684平方公里，分成Dabola礦區和Tougue礦區。其中，在Dabola礦區，共勘探出13處礦點；在Tougue礦區，勘探出12處礦點。
早在1992年，伊朗鋁業就與幾內亞政府簽署協議，獲得Dabola-Tougue礦區的采礦權證。但由于隨后伊朗國內的政局變化、西方國家對伊制裁等多種原因，伊朗鋁業一直未能實質性啟動Dabola-Tougue礦的開采。
2015年，伊朗鋁業與幾內亞政府重新簽署了協議，伊朗鋁業再次獲得25年的開采權，其有效期2015-2040年，可延期。
伊朗方面承擔開發Dabola-Tougue礦的執行公司為Iranian Mines &Mining Industries Development &Renovation ，IMIDRO；這是一家伊朗國有控制企業。
該項目預計前期基礎設施投資金額為5.5億美元，建設內容主要是修建一條325公里長的公路（用于運輸礦石）、在幾內亞首都科納克里自治港建設一個面積達33公頃的礦石散裝碼頭和堆場。

Guinea's SBDT bauxite project to begin mine construction this year

Fri Jul 22, 2016
CONAKRY, July 22 (Reuters) - Guinea's Societe des Bauxites de Dabola-Tougue (SBDT) expects to begin construction on a mine by the end of this year that would allow it to exploit its large, untapped reserves of bauxite, the company's chief executive said on Friday.
The state of Iran holds a 51 percent stake in SBDT, which owns permits over 5,684 square kilometres. Guinea holds the remaining 49 percent.
"We are currently finalising the feasibility studies. We plan to begin work before the end of this year," Fode Diaby told Reuters.
The concession includes 13 bauxite plateaus at Dabola and 12 at Tougue, both in central Guinea, which have a combined reserve of over 600 million tonnes, according to the company.
The project has remained largely dormant since the original agreement between Guinea and Iran was signed in 1992. However, the two nations renewed the 25-year agreement last year.
Iranian Mines &Mining Industries Development &Renovation (IMIDRO), a major state-owned holding company active in the mining sector, is now lending financial backing to the project, which is expected to cost around 505 million euros ($553.68 million).
"For the evacuation of the ore, we will construct a 325 km (201 miles) transport route. Eventually, a 33-hectare space at the Autonomous Port of Conakry will be developed," Diaby said.
Guinea claims it is home to the world's largest reserves of bauxite, yet it ranks fourth in exports. The government is aiming to boost production by 30 percent before the end of 2016.
