Guinea, a land promised by Benny Steinmetz

Quietly, the Israeli businessman Benny Steinmetz arrived in Namibia and South Africa. But it was his arrival in Guinea in 2008, via the subsidiary of the holding BSGR Benny Steinmetz Group, raising questions.

In fact, in Conakry, according to knowledgeable sources introduced to the palace, Benny Steinmetz must discharge its entry into reservoirs Simandou the blessing of a wife of the late president, General Lansana Conte, Mamady Kaba "Dubréca. It was she who had commissioned the granting of the license deposits Simandou BSGR the company. Sacrificing the portion Australian Rio Tinto, which was already operating on Simandou. Dubréca Mamady was advised in this matter by the former Minister Ibrahima Fofana Kassory, aka Donkass. "Never in the licensing of mining operations, it was known that speed in the proceedings" recognized an authoritative source, familiar with the case. Our sources report that the license BSGR was signed under the magisterium of Ahmed Tidiane Souare, former chief minister of the Conté regime. At that time, the Ministry of Mines was led by Loncény Nabi. The amounts involved were enormous on Mount Simandou. According to indiscretions, to clinch the operating permit, to the chagrin of Rio Tinto, some 1.2 million euros have been raised in the closed circuit BSGR pimps. Taking advantage of the fragile state of health of President Lansana Conte, Benny Steinmetz, the contractor becomes "spoiled" Ms. Dubréca Mamady Kaba. The group has installed BSGR quarters since his arrival in Guinea, residence Krumah, based in COLEA (a district of Conakry). Krumah residence, nestled just stoned the Senegalese Chancery Conakry, belongs to the former head of state, Ahmed Sekou Toure.

Behind the scenes

The contours of the grant of the mining concession Simandou were never disclosed to the Guinean population. Everything was backstage, in record time. What made that a Guinean official source, "the dossier on deposits BSGR Simandou is a nebula in all its compartments. Better still, our sources confirm, everything was driven from the presidency by Ms. Dubréca Mamady. "She gave instructions and followed the chain" confess our sources. Ehud Olmert, former Israeli prime minister, would also play the score through its connections in Conakry.

"General Konate would be behind the case Simandou," they say. However, some informed circles, it is rather Benny Steinmetz who "courted" the president Konate. The latter, less populist than its predecessor, would have taken a liking to the business. For two months the multinational march in Conakry. After Gazprom Lebanon, whose authorities have already met the general in Paris and is about to invest in Guinea, up to the junior mining Brazilian Vale, which will raise a whopping $ 2.5 billion, including $ 500 million dollars already released.

In fact, in Conakry, according to knowledgeable sources introduced to the palace, Benny Steinmetz must discharge its entry into reservoirs Simandou the blessing of a wife of the late president, General Lansana Conte, Mamady Kaba "Dubréca.

The strong man of Conakry going to be a champion of the signatures of mining concessions to one month's presidential Guinea on 27 June.

At the finish

This is intriguing, especially, it is also rapid adjudication of the operating license of the iron and Simandou Zogota in the forest region, the Vale Junior. Why Brazilian chose to operate in tandem with Benny Steinmetz Group Resources, as well as Simandou Zogota? According to authoritative sources, the broker of the junior mining Brazilian Vale would Benny Steinmetz. The man who entered his palace, allegedly plotted to derail talks with his group Chinalco, a partner in the Australian Rio Tinto. "Benny Vale led Guinea to develop other activities designed to export sub-regional" resorts to a source. However, the Israeli led to believe that the group Chinalco has lagged behind in starting operations. None of that. In Conakry, one wonders about the role played by the Guinean Minister of Mines, Mahmoud Thiam, who argued at the bottom of the card-tandem BSGR Vale. What happened in reality? Why things did they go so fast? Our sources tell us that Brazil's Vale, who had his eye on countries like Ghana and Mozambique, has finally decided to come to Guinea. Under the blessing of their mentor, Benny Steinmetz, King Mine in Guinea, now one of the bankers of the country's most courted.
