## Project summary
IFC’s Summary of Investment Information identifies Continental Blue Investment Ghana Limited’s LC3 cement project in Ghana. It locates the plant in Tema, Accra; the calcined-clay deposit rights it mentions in Togorme, North Tongu District, Volta Region are a separate location. The SII describes a limestone calcined-clay plant with stated capacity of 400,000 tonnes per year. It separately reports a recently completed grinding-capacity expansion from 0.6 to 1.4 million tonnes per year, but does not date its completion; neither figure establishes actual production. For asset classification, the IFC sector field says Cement and the description concerns LC3 production: cement_plant, in the industrial_process category.
Financing figures are not procurement evidence: the SII describes a proposed IFC A-loan of up to US$20 million and a total project cost of US$66.7 million; it also displays a US$20.0 million loan under “IFC's Investment as Approved by the Board” and labels investment figures indicative. The record shows Status: Hold and an earlier “Approved: Nov 24, 2025” entry; these are financing-record entries, not physical-plant status. IFC lists Aug 27, 2025 as the SPI disclosure date, Sep 30, 2025 as the projected Board date, and May 6, 2026 as the last-updated date; its disclaimer says Board dates are estimates and it has not necessarily independently verified all project information. IFC’s disclosure states that authorization for public release had been given for project documentation or data included or attached.
Reading scope: The SII points to related ESRS and ESAP material; their contents are not summarized here.
