The Baoya Mining Project is a large-scale mineral sands operation encompassing 120 square kilometers under a dedicated mining license. With proven reserves estimated at 4 million tons of heavy mineral sands, the project is poised to become a cornerstone of YFD’s mining operations in Sierra Leone.

Project Milestones and Production Goals

• Fengshun Unit 2:
  Scheduled to commence production in September 2024, this unit is expected to achieve a normal production output of 3,500 tons per year, contributing significantly to the project’s operational capacity.

• Fengshun Unit 3:
  Currently under construction, Unit 3 is projected to begin operations by the end of December 2024, further enhancing the project’s output.

• Fengshun Unit 5:
  Plans are underway to develop Unit 5, with construction expected to be completed by the end of 2025, ensuring the long-term scalability and sustainability of the Baoya Mining Project.

Strategic Importance

The Baoya Mining Project demonstrates YFD’s commitment to sustainable resource development and operational excellence. By leveraging advanced mining techniques and efficient production processes, the project is set to support global mineral sand demands while contributing to local economic growth.
