Gabon: the French state’s growing Eramet stake revives debate over Comilog
The French state’s decision to increase its Eramet stake places the mining group at the center of a debate extending beyond Paris. Through Compagnie minière de l’Ogooué (Comilog), the group operates Gabon’s Moanda manganese deposit, among the world’s largest. For workers and observers in Libreville, the question is what a group-level ownership change means for the Gabonese company, its operations and local benefits.
