Togo: The government has granted two mineral exploration permits to Dangote Cement to assess carbonate phosphate reserves in Kpomé Apéyémé, Zio prefecture and Akoumapé, Vo prefecture. The licences are valid for three years with options for renewal, according to the Liberté newspaper and Agence Ecofin. If suitable deposits are found then they could support plans by the cement producer to build a plant in the country. Dangote Cement received government clearance to build a 1.5Mt/yr grinding plant for US$60m in late 2019.
