Recent Developments and Future Projections
This amendment follows the recent inauguration of ArcelorMittal's iron ore concentration plant at Tokadeh, in Nimba County. The agreement is part of a $1.8 billion expansion project, bringing ArcelorMittal's total investment in Liberia to $3.5 billion. Iron ore shipments are expected to increase from about 5 million tons per year to 20 million tons in 2026. The agreement includes a multi-user arrangement regarding the use of railway infrastructure, with reserved railway capacity potentially reaching 30 million tons annually if ongoing feasibility studies lead to a decision to expand beyond 20 million tons.
