Mining & Energy
Exploration and mining titles, petroleum contracts, power projects, renewables and environmental compliance.
Cameroon holds significant mineral, hydrocarbon and hydro resources, and the legal framework governing them combines the Mining Code, the Petroleum Code, the Electricity Law and a demanding environmental regime. We advise investors, operators and contractors from licence application through development to decommissioning.
The licence is the beginning
Holding a title is not the same as being able to operate on it. Surface rights, community agreements, environmental permits and local content commitments all have to be secured in parallel, and a gap in any of them can stop a project.
Environmental and social exposure
Lenders and offtakers now diligence environmental and social performance as hard as they diligence title. We build compliance that satisfies both the Cameroonian regulator and international finance standards.
