Africa Development Management Associates: Best Mining Company in Liberia of 2025
Africa Development Management Associates (ADMA) has earned the prestigious title of Best Mining Company in Liberia of 2025 from Best of Best Review. This recognition highlights ADMA's unparalleled leadership, innovation, and impact within the mining sector, particularly through their pivotal role in the success of ArcelorMittal Liberia's groundbreaking initiatives.
A Vision for Liberia’s Future
Since its establishment in 2005, ADMA has played a crucial role in Liberia’s post-conflict recovery and economic revitalization. As the first major investor to return to the country following years of devastation, ADMA has been a steady pillar of growth, stability, and opportunity. Under the leadership of Elias Shoniyin, ADMA's mission has been clear: to drive sustainable development, create meaningful job opportunities, and transform Liberia into a global player in the mining industry.

Transforming Liberia’s Mining Landscape
ADMA's most notable achievement in 2025 is its instrumental role in the development of ArcelorMittal Liberia’s state-of-the-art ore concentrator. This $1.8 billion project represents the largest iron ore concentrator in West Africa and is set to redefine Liberia’s mining potential on the world stage. The expansion of ArcelorMittal’s operations will not only enhance global trade but also position Liberia as a key supplier of high-quality iron ore to the international market.
This expansion is more than just a business venture—it is a catalyst for economic growth and job creation in Liberia. Thousands of jobs will be generated in the coming years, directly benefiting local communities and contributing to the country’s long-term economic recovery. With ADMA’s guidance, ArcelorMittal Liberia is expected to further solidify its position as Liberia’s largest private-sector employer and a leading taxpayer.
