Minim Martap

    0.01 sec.
Minim Martap 

the largest deposit of bauxite in Cameroon, located southwest of the city of Ngaoundere. Preliminary estimates of reserves are one billion tons, with an average aluminum oxide content of more than 35 percent. In 1970 deposit studies were initiated by a mixed company, in which 40 percent of the shares belonged to the government of Cameroon, and the remainder to bauxite syndicates of France, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the USA. The beginning of industrial operation has been associated with completion of the Trans-Cameroon Railroad.
