Les employés de la société Keangnam, prestataire de services auprès du projet Ambatovy sont entrés en grève depuis ce mercredi 11 août. Ils ont réussi à entraîner dans leur mouvement de grève les autres employés des différents secteurs du projet Ambatovy en les persuadant des motifs de leur acte de protestation. Le principal motif est la mort suspecte d’un employé de cette société philippine dénommée Keangnam qui s’occupe d’énergie électrique. Les grévistes sont convaincus que le décès de l’employé, qui s’appelle Noelimanana Brangé Gérard, n’est pas normal. Les explications de SNC-Lavallin font état, selon les employés, d’une mort par asphyxie dans le local où le corps a été découvert après plusieurs heures de recherche effectuées avec la Gendarmerie ; un local sis à l’intérieur du site d’Ambatovy à Toamasina.
À en croire les employés grévistes, ils constituent environ les 90% des employés du projet et ne comptent pas reprendre leur service tant que cette affaire n’est pas mise au clair car l’accès à ce local est surveillé et réglementé. Cet événement en tout cas n’arrange pas le projet et son épanouissement car il risque la paralysie pendant la durée de cette grève. À noter que l’employé décédé en question était âgé de 25 ans et d’après les grévistes, aussitôt que sa mère a appris le décès de son fils, elle est passée elle aussi de la vie à trépas.
Beaucoup de reproches sont exprimés par les employés contre cette société philippine Keangnam, notamment concernant le mauvais traitement des employés.

En premier lieu, toutes mes condoleances a la famille de la victime.
Secundo, je voulais juste denoncer les pratiques de certaines entreprises locales, et surtout etrangeres concernant le traitement des employes.
Je trouve personellement que certains « petite chefs » ou certains patrons prennent les gens pour des chiens, voire des cochons.
IL n
est pas etonnant que des gens comme vous finissent mal (cancer, perte dun proche) et jen passe) et personelelemnt, je trouve que cest bien merite.Je pesne franchement que vous meritez d`etre arnaques a votre tour. Regarding Keangnam, I hope all the bosses and executives in your company will pay for the price one day ; I hope the malagasy employees will press charges against stupid pigs like yourselves and you guys, will end up in jail for employees mistreatments and slavery.
I wish you and our family to collapse, stupid bastards !!

One of the largest new nickel projects in the world, the Ambatovy nickel mine, in Madagascar, has moved a step closer to development, with the African Development Bank (AfDB) approving a $150-million loan to partially finance the project.
The project requires a total investment of $2,94-billion.
Canadian mining company Dynatec owns 45% of the project, and Sumitomo Corporation, of Japan, and Korea Resources Corporation – which consists of a consortium of Korean enterprises, including Daewoo International Corporation, Keangnam Enterprises and STX Corporation – 27,5% each.
Canadian engineering and construction firm SNC-Lavalin has agreed to acquire a 5% interest in Ambatovy from Dynatec, coincident with the closing of the project debt financing, which is targeted for the end of the second quarter of 2007.
The Ambatovy project’s production costs for nickel, after by-product credits, is expected to be among the lowest in the industry.
It is estimated that the project will produce 60 000 t/y of nickel, 5 600 t/y of cobalt and about 190 000 t/y of ammonium sulphate for at least 27 years.
The Ambatovy mine site is located 80 km east of the capital of Madagascar, Antananarivo, and lies within a few kilometers of the main road and rail system connecting Antananarivo and the main port city of Toamasina, on the east coast.
The project will consist of an openpit mining operation and an ore-preparation plant at the mine site.
The slurried laterite ore produced by the mine will be transported by a pipeline to a process plant and refinery located a few kilometers from the Port of Toamasina.
The AfDB says in a statement that the project will bring short-, medium- and long-term economic and social benefits to Madgascar’s economy.
Direct benefits will accrue to the mining sector, and to the immediate regions where the mines and processing plants are located, owing to the injection of about $3,3-billion into the local economies and the creation of 1 700 to 2 000 permanent jobs through the project life.
Benefits are expected to extend beyond the mining sector and beyond the vicinity of the mining sites.
Economic benefits will ripple through the rest of the economy and country as a result of activities related to the project, such as material and equipment purchases and services provided by local companies, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The suppliers and subcontractors will need to order more supplies and hire more people, and this will indirectly lead to the creation of new jobs and distribution of income in other sectors and across a wide cross section of the population.
In March, Ambatovy was certified under Madagascar’s Large Mining Investment Act – Loi sur les Grands Investissements Miniers, or LGIM.
The certification ensures tax and legal stability for the project, and construction is on track to start by midyear, subject to the completion of the project debt financing. Based on the current development schedule, Ambatovy is expected to be completed in 2010.
Madagascar’s LGIM, which was promulgated in 2002 and was developed with the support and assistance of the World Bank, establishes the legal framework for developing and operating large-scale resource projects in the country and provides the equivalent of a project stability agreement.
Dynatec president and CEO Bruce V Walter commented that receiving LGIM certification was a major milestone for Ambatovy.
“We appreciate the constructive manner in which the Madagascar government managed the certification process to ensure both that the country’s needs were accommodated and that the project could advance on a timely basis,” Walter added.
Ambatovy is the first mining project financed by the AfDB in Madagascar.
The bank has financed four projects in the extractive industrial sector – the Moma titanium project, in Mozambique ; the Sasol gas pipeline project from Mozambique to South Africa ; the Samira gold project, in Niger ; and the Lumwama copper mine, in Zambia.
