After a decade of waiting, the Nayega manganese mine in Togo's Savanes region will officially go into production at the end of June 2025.
The site, now under full state control via Société Togolaise de Manganèse (STM), will start with a rate of 4,000 tonnes per month, aiming for 8,000 tonnes in the medium term.
This project marks a strategic turning point for the country, which is seeking to diversify its extractive sector, long dominated by phosphates.
The partnership with Keras Resources, which retains an advisory and brokerage role, will enable a transfer of skills while guaranteeing a rise in local value.
Against a backdrop of strong global demand for transition metals, particularly in batteries and electric mobility, this operation could strengthen Togo's economic sovereignty.
With estimated reserves of 8.5 million tonnes and a planned operating life of 11 years, Nayega promises to be a lasting pillar of the mining industry's already significant contribution of over 40 % to the national budget.
