Guinea President Alpha Conde has retained Abdoulaye Magassouba as mines minister overseeing the West African nation's bauxite, iron ore, gold and diamond wealth, according to a decree read on state television on Thursday.
Magassouba was first appointed to the position in January 2016. Under his tenure, exports of bauxite - the main ore source of aluminium - have risen to over 60 million tonnes per year from around 22 million tonnes in 2015.
