Liberia Moves Toward a National Mining Company and Gold Refinery

On 28 October 2026, President Boakai announced plans to establish a national mining company and a gold refinery, emphasising domestic mineral processing and greater local value addition. The announcement was made at LIMEC 2026, but the government did not disclose a confirmed capital budget, transaction price or investment timetable for the proposed entities. The initiative could create opportunities for corporate structuring, project finance, valuation and strategic partnerships.
