However, holders of operating titles acquire ownership of the substances they extract. - WHEREAS in this framework, the Republic of Guinea informed the mining investors of : ~ the necessity to ensure rational resources exploitation to avoid freezes, mortgages and waste, ~ the principle that the mining infrastructures (railway and port) located on the national territory belong to the Government as well as any new mining infrastructure that would be implemented, ~ the necessity to create a mid-term synergy as to the iron ore and bauxite exploitation, transportation and evacuation schemes over the whole territory in order to minimize operation and transportation costs and to ensure mining operations, ~ its commitment to tap mining resources with respect for the environment, in compliance with the World Bank standards. ~ its commitment to turn mining areas into socio-economic and industrial development centers leading to the implementation of unities meant to transform raw materials into finished and semi-finished products,

- WHEREAS BSG Resources, conforming to the Government's strategy as to the valorization of mining resources, has solicited an iron ore exploration permit at Zogota, in N'Zerekore" prefecture, - WHEREAS the Republic of Guinea acceded to this request through decrees A/2006/706/MMG/SGG of February 6 2006 granting BSG Resources one (01) iron ore exploration permit, renewed by decree A/200911327/PRIMMEH/SGG of June 10 2009,
