•
financing the railway line between the mine and the dam
•
rehabilitation of the Kisangani cement plant
•
the river upstream of the dam, between Kisangani and Kindu,will be navigable
•
a high manometric height of the hydroelectric dam will provide several MW of energy
•
A canal will be dug from Kisangani to the dam to allow the navigability of the Congo River
and gain 10m of manometric height of the dam
•
The location of the dam must be the one that minimizes the sum of the costs of the dam
and the canal, example of a dam that minimizes the cost of the canal (layer)
•
The products of the excavation of the canal will participate in the construction of the gravity
dam
•
This dam will connect the two banks of the rivers by a road and a railway.
•
Part of the hydroelectric power will produce hydrogen by the direct reduction of itabirites
•
The methane gas from Lake Kivu transported by pipeline will provide the complement by formatting
•
The steel produced will be transported by barge down the Congo River
The flooded areas depends on the manometric height of the dam 30m (415-383) 35m (420-383) 40m (425-383) 45m (430-383) (made by Yves Malongo)
(40m seems the best, the flooded area near Kisangani upstream of the dam can be limited by the construction of a dike)
The local enhancement of the iron deposit will finance the development of the whole
Province by offering it a new green steel industry
PROJECT TO EXPORT 50Mt PER YEAR OF HIGH-GRADE IRON ORE
By river according to an innovative transport that optimizes its efficiency and safety cf
http://www.mbomo-mining.com/Iron-ore-export.pdf
Investments in infrastructure secured by the very high-grade Banalia iron ore deposit which has already been surface prospected in 1974.
This iron deposit was to supply the
Maluku steelworks
which was a failure because of its very poor location.
Surface prospecting was carried out by the Italian and Belgian companies SICAI/TRACTIONNEL, cf
http://www.mbomo-mining.com/SICAI.pdf
The prospecting results have been entered into the Excel file published on
http://www.mbomo-mining.com/SICAI-TRACTIONNEL.xlsx
According to this report, the probable reserves would be 969Mt@65.55%Fe
Analysis

shows
that
they
underestimate
the

reserves.
It
is
legitimate
to
write
that
prospecting
by
drilling
will
reveal
certain
economically
exploitable
reserves
of
2bt
at
a
very high grade of around 65% Fe, ensuring 40 years of export at 50Mt per year.
