Population

In 1967, Minim contained 90 inhabitants, mostly from the Kaka ethnic group. [3] In the 2005 census, the settlement contained 432 people. [1]

Economy

Along with Ngaoundal, Minim is part of a large project to mine the bauxite of the Adamawa Plateau. [4] [5] Covering an area of 1000 km2, the deposit represents an important component of the Adamawa plateau and the gentle slopes which surround it make it easy to access. [6] Studies of feasibility and environmental impact were carried out [6] and a mining development plan was completed in May 2016. [7] Financing for the construction of a facility for refining the bauxite into aluminium and for transport infrastructure is still outstanding. [8] [9]
