Algeria\u2019s mining group Sonarem and the Chadian company Sonemic have signed a protocol of agreement designed to structure and deepen their cooperation in the mining sector. This partnership, centered on skills transfer, the development of strategic projects, and the sustainable exploitation of mineral resources, marks a move toward higher\u2011value collaboration and a broader push for intensified African\u2011African cooperation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The agreement lays out a clear framework for the terms and mechanisms of collaboration, aiming to improve coordination between the two companies and ensure the effective implementation of their shared objectives. It is intended to move beyond ad\u2011h\u2011oc contacts and anchor the relationship in stable, long\u2011term cooperation.<\/p>\n

Key pillars of the protocol include the development of geological research and mineral exploration, the exchange of technologies and expertise in sustainable mining, the strengthening of human\u2011resource capabilities, and the launch of joint structuring projects. Both sides emphasize that this will help build a durable, mutually beneficial partnership grounded in complementarity and know\u2011how sharing.<\/p>\n

The signing ceremony took place at Sonarem\u2019s headquarters under the chairmanship of the group\u2019s CEO, Reda Belhadj, and was attended by Sonemic\u2019s Deputy Director\u2011General, Nasser Taha Abdeljalil, along with senior managers from both entities. The meeting served to align both companies around a common vision and to define the operational roadmap for the partnership.<\/p>\n

On the sidelines of these discussions, the two parties also examined complementary agreements, including a project on skills transfer to support the development of Chad\u2019s mining sector and another targeting the training of trainers, aimed at improving the qualifications of managers and workers in the field. These initiatives are intended to translate technical cooperation into tangible capacity\u2011building outcomes.<\/p>\n

Sonarem and Sonemic also reaffirmed their commitment to good governance, transparency, and adherence to environmental standards throughout all stages of mining activity, in line with sustainable\u2011development requirements. This commitment underpins their pledge to manage resources responsibly while pursuing economic returns.<\/p>\n

Through this agreement, Sonarem and Sonemic express their ambition to build an effective partnership that contributes to the valorization of mineral resources, supports economic diversification, and enhances the attractiveness of the mining sector, all within the broader context of strengthened South\u2013South and intra\u2011African cooperation.<\/p>\n

This development comes in parallel with the visit to Algeria of a delegation from Chad\u2019s Ministry of Petroleum, Mines and Geology, received this Friday by Miloud Medjelled, Secretary\u2011General of the Ministry of Energy and Mines, at the ministry\u2019s headquarters in Algiers. The delegation is taking part in the fourth edition of the international fair on iron, steel and mining materials, held from March 30 to April 1 at the maritime\u2011pine Exhibition Palace in Algiers.<\/p>\n

Talks held in the presence of ministry officials reviewed the state and prospects of bilateral relations between Algeria and Chad, described as fraternal and historic. The discussions highlighted the signing in December 2025 of a protocol of discussions in the fields of hydrocarbons and mining, considered a key step toward institutionalizing cooperation between the two countries.<\/p>\n

The meeting also provided an opportunity to revisit the visit made to Chad in January 2026 by Minister of State and Minister of Energy and Mines Mohamed Arkab, who attended the international mining, quarrying and hydrocarbons exhibition \u201cSEMICA TCHAD 2026\u201d as representative of the President of the Republic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
