Askaf is an iron ore prospect in Mauritania.[1]

Railway

The deposit straddles the SNIM railway 598 km from its port of export.

In 2014, Glencore Xstrata paid $1 billion to SNIM for access to that company's rail and port infrastructure, however, after iron ore prices dropped 40% in 2018, Glencore pulled out of the deal.
