Transport

While the main line is metre gauge, the branch to Tougué is standard gauge.

Mining

Development of iron ore deposits was proposed in 1994. This would require upgrading of the understrength line from the port of Conakry or a new heavy duty line to a new port at Matakan. There are also deposits of bauxite.
