(FILES) A general view of a railway tunnel at the SimFer mining complex in the Simandou mountain range in the Nzerekore region, on September 2, 2025. In the Simandou mountains of Guinea's lush rainforest, a mammoth mining project that could make the west African country one of the world's largest iron exporters is raising equal parts hope and fear. In just a few weeks, Guinea will export its first shipments of iron ore from its Simandou Project, finally cashing in on the high-grade iron deposits discovered decades ago in the country's southeast. Not only does the project potentially offer a steady stream of revenue for the impoverished country but it has also precipitated the development of key infrastructure in the region, although the opacity of contracts make it impossible to estimate the state's gains. Industrial partners have spent approximately $20 billion constructing more than 650 kilometres (400 miles) of railway and a massive port that will connect the remote region to the larger world.
