Ashapura Minechem has officially announced the successful commissioning of a critical bridge over the Konkouro River in Guinea, marking a significant infrastructure milestone for the company's bauxite operations. The announcement was made through a regulatory filing under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015.

Strategic Infrastructure Achievement

The newly constructed bridge represents a first-of-its-kind project for Ashapura Minechem, connecting the company's mines in Boffa East with the logistics route to Boffa Port. The Konkouro River, described as one of the longest rivers in Guinea, previously created accessibility challenges for the eastern part of the mining lease area, which was earlier inaccessible.

Bauxite Reserve Access and Specifications

The bridge construction directly unlocks access to substantial bauxite reserves in the previously inaccessible eastern region. The project specifications demonstrate the strategic value of this infrastructure development:

Parameter:	Details
Reserve Volume:	80.00 million tonnes
Reserve Quality:	Good exportable grade bauxite
Location:	Boffa East mines, Guinea
Previous Status:	Inaccessible area
Current Connectivity:	Direct link to Boffa Port

Operational Impact and Export Enhancement

The completion of this bridge infrastructure provides Ashapura Minechem with enhanced capabilities to achieve its bauxite export targets. The company emphasized that this development gives them immense confidence in reaching their export objectives, while also highlighting their commitment to infrastructure development in the region.

Regional Development Commitment

Beyond operational benefits, the bridge project demonstrates Ashapura Minechem's broader commitment to transforming the regional landscape and improving the overall yield of bauxite within the Boffa region. This infrastructure development not only serves the company's mining operations but also contributes to the broader development of Guinea's mining infrastructure.

The successful commissioning of this bridge positions Ashapura Minechem to optimize its bauxite extraction and export processes, providing improved access to high-quality mineral resources and establishing a more efficient logistics framework for the company's Guinea operations.
