Pic de Fon is known to have large iron ore deposits and mining exploration activities began in 1997. While the Guinean government granted a mining concession in 2006, actual mining activities have not yet started and if or when these would go ahead is unclear (Kormos et al. 2014, Rio Tinto 2018).

Rebecca Kormos confirmed the presence of chimpanzees in Pic de Fon based on interviews with hunters (Ham 1998). As part of a rapid biological assessment line transect surveys were conducted by Herbinger and Tounkara (2004) and they estimated the size of the chimpanzee population at around 75 weaned individuals. In 2007 a further survey was implemented as part of the Simandou mining project that estimated the chimpanzee population at between 36-46 individuals, but details are not publicly available (Kormos et al. 2014).

To mitigate negative impacts by the development of the iron ore mine a community-based management plan was developed as part of a collaboration between the Guinean government, Rio Tinto and local communities in 2010 (TBC 2019). As part of the conservation action plan Pic de Fon was divided into three zones: a protected area, a production area that can be used by local communities and the mining area (Diakite et al. 2010). Different activities were planned, including regulating hunting and usage of non-timber forest products, control of bushfires, reforestation (TBC 2019). However, as the development of the mine is not progressing and Rio Tinto is trying to sell its share, it is not clear if any of these activities have actually been implemented.

The lack of capacity among regional actors, including government agencies, local communities and NGOs has been noted as an impediment, for example to implement law enforcement (McCullough 2004). Civil unrest, and conflict on land tenure were also mentioned as conservation impediments (McCullough 2004).
