The Eastern Iron Mining Company (MFE Spa), a subsidiary of SONAREM industrial mining group, is one of the historical and strategic pillars of the national mining sector. It specializes in the extraction, processing, and marketing of iron ore, an essential resource for the development of the steel industry and, more broadly, for consolidating the country’s industrial sovereignty.
Headquartered in the Tébessa region in the north-eastern part of Algeria, MFE operates the emblematic Ouenza and Boukhadra deposits, located near the Algerian -Tunisian border. These deposits, among the oldest in the country, have a significant potential and represent a major driver for supplying the national iron ore market.
Building on decades of expertise and recognized know-how in mining, MFE is working to modernize its extraction and processing methods while optimizing its resource management. The company is committed to valorizing the ore locally, improving the quality of its products, and strengthening its contribution to the national steel industry.
With its high-performing industrial infrastructure and highly qualified staff, the company places safety, environmental protection, and human capital progress at the heart of its development strategy. It adopts a responsible and sustainable approach, integrating technological innovation and energy efficiency into each of its activities.
Within this dynamic, MFE is firmly committed to SONAREM Group’s redeployment strategy, by endeavoring to increase productivity, develop new deposits, and diversify its partnerships. Its primary mission remains to make Algerian iron ore a driver of growth and prosperity, at the service of the national industrial development.
