Eramet responds to Gabonese ban on crude manganese from 2029

The Eramet Group is responding to Gabon's decision to ban raw manganese exports starting in January 2029. This government measure aims to strengthen the local industry, under the leadership of President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema. Present in Gabon for over 30 years, Eramet has invested in responsible mining infrastructure and processing plants.

As Comilog's main shareholder, Eramet ensures ongoing collaboration with the Gabonese government. The group seeks to align its operations with the country's economic development objectives, while preserving Comilog and Setrag's strategic role in the steel sector. Eramet emphasizes its commitment to the 10,460 jobs it supports in Gabon.
