Detailed design studies and preparation of tender documents for the construction of an integrated sugar complex in Mauritania

SOPEX CONSULTING has carried out a FEED (Front End Engineering and Design) study for a sugar complex to be located in Foum Gleita, in the Gorgol region. This complex will consist of a plantation of +/- 10,000 ha of sugar cane, a sugar factory for the production of white sugar ICUMSA 45 with a capacity of 6,000 tons per day, an energy unit and an alcohol production unit.

Prospecting study of a gold mining perimeter and socio-economic analysis in Congo

In consortium with Sopex Congo, Sopex Consulting carried out a prospecting study of a gold-bearing perimeter of over 1,000 km2. The main objective was to characterize and define the potential of the perimeter with a view to requesting an extension of the permit, or even to extend it to a semi-industrial exploitation authorization. The study was complemented by a socio-economic approach and by the formulation of recommendations for the development of existing artisanal (gold miners) and semi-industrial activities.
