Our President Accompanied Prime Minister Abe Visiting Mozambique

On Sunday, January 12, as part of the tour of the Middle East and Africa, Prime Minister Abe visited Mozambique. As Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation (NSSMC) is currently pushing the Revuboe project for coking coal development, in Mozambique, Dr. Tomono, President & COO, accompanied Mr. Abe. While being with Mr. Abe, at his meeting with Mr. Guebuza, President of Mozambique, and other functions, Dr. Tomono also made a presentation about our expectations for coal reserves in Mozambique at a forum about Mozambique-Japan investment held on that day.

On the Revuboe project, given a mining concession in April 2013, work is now under way, with the start of production slated for some time in or after 2016.
