Global gold demand continues to rise as investors seek stability in uncertain markets, driving renewed confidence in long-term gold fundamentals.

With central banks increasing reserves and industrial applications expanding, gold remains a cornerstone asset for global financial security and innovation.

In alignment with this positive market environment, Orion Gold is actively progressing through the licensing and regulatory process required for gold export operations in Guinea.

We are currently working toward securing our export authorization, with the aim of commencing responsible export activities by the second quarter of next year, subject to regulatory approvals.

Our focus remains on transparency, compliance, and building a long-term, sustainable foundation in the region.

Severe congestion at Conakry Port has pushed the “Out Operation” schedule to January 2026. Shipping lines, including CMA CGM, have imposed a US $1,000 congestion surcharge as vessel queues stretch up to a week. Heavy rains, power outages, and the rapid build-up of exports for the Simandou iron-ore megaproject have jammed port access and diverted manpower and equipment.

With Guinea prioritizing Simandou’s first ore shipments—expected November 2025—logistics capacity for other cargo has sharply declined. Freight forwarders now advise rescheduling exports or rerouting via Dakar, Abidjan, or Tema until congestion eases early next year.

Major gold producers and exploration companies have accelerated project development this quarter as rising gold prices continue to strengthen the sector.

New exploration licenses across West Africa, increased geological investment, and renewed interest in sustainable extraction methods are contributing to a steady expansion in global gold mining capacity.

Analysts highlight that long-term structural demand — supported by central bank buying, investor confidence, and industrial consumption — continues to support a strong outlook for gold-focused projects worldwide.
