By Maimunatu Bah – Public Relations Officer, Foison Resources SL Limited
Foison Resources SL Limited has announced its successful participation in the 2025 TZMI Congress, a premier global gathering for the titanium and mineral sands industry, held in November in Malaysia. The international forum convened leading industry executives, investors, analysts and technical experts from across the globe to discuss market trends, technological advancements and new investment opportunities within the titanium value chain.
The two-day congress provided a high-level platform for dialogue among major industry players, offering opportunities for knowledge-sharing, networking and the forging of strategic partnerships. It also highlighted evolving market demands and innovations shaping the future of the sector.
Representing Foison Resources SL Limited at the event was the company’s Chief Operations Officer, Joseph Nanah, who delivered a compelling presentation on Foison’s operations, strategic priorities and long-term vision. He provided an update on the construction of the company’s state-of-the-art Mineral Separation Plant (MSP) in Moyamba District, a flagship project expected to significantly boost Sierra Leone’s value-addition capacity in titanium production.
Nanah underscored the company’s ongoing expansion efforts and its readiness to engage in mutually beneficial global partnerships. He further emphasized that the MSP is being developed to serve a diversified international market base. While China is currently a major destination for titanium products, Nanah noted that the new plant is strategically positioned to supply European and American markets as well—strengthening Sierra Leone’s competitiveness in multiple global value chains.
Foison’s participation at the TZMI Congress also played a crucial role in enhancing Sierra Leone’s visibility on the global mineral stage. According to Nanah, many participants expressed surprise upon learning about Sierra Leone’s growing capacity to produce and export titanium at meaningful industrial scale. This renewed awareness, he said, has strengthened both Foison’s corporate profile and the nation’s reputation as an emerging player in the titanium industry.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to contributing to Sierra Leone’s socio-economic development through sustainable investment, job creation, increased export revenue and deeper value addition within the mineral sector. Foison Resources SL Limited says it remains dedicated to building a responsible and long-term presence that supports national growth and positions Sierra Leone as a credible supplier in the global titanium market.
