🌍♻️ When Mining Meets Sustainability

ArcelorMittal Liberia is setting an example that other companies can follow — showing that it’s possible to develop natural resources without destroying the environment.

From restoring mined land through reforestation programs, to conducting environmental impact assessments and monthly “Litter Parade” clean-up campaigns, AML is proving that green practices can go hand in hand with economic growth.

In Buchanan and Yekepa, AML staff, community members, and students are mobilizing to keep their surroundings clean and green.

✅ Environmental sustainability
✅ Community awareness
✅ Corporate responsibility

Liberia deserves investors who care about tomorrow — and AML is walking the talk.

👏 A cleaner Liberia starts with collective action — and AML is right at the heart of it.

“What If They Never Build the Rail?”
Ivanhoe (HPX) once promised to build their own rail.
Now? They want to use Liberia’s existing rail until 2029, then maybe build their own.

❓And if they don’t build it in 2029?
❓Who holds them accountable?
❓Why give away access now with no guarantee?

This deal lacks safeguards, timelines, and trust.
