Two Cameroon military reconnaissance plane searches seemed to indicate that the missing plane might have crashed in Cameroon’s south regional town of Djoum, located some 200km south east of Yaounde, officials said earlier today.
"Residents in Djoum said they saw explosions in the air on Saturday,” said a Cameroon official.
Djoum is located some 200km from Yaounde and about 250km from Mbalam, where Sundance has its flagship iron ore project.

Cameroon authorities and officials from Sundance are heading the search, which is expected to resume at first light, which is about 4pm AEST on Monday.
A day's search has failed to find any conclusive evidence of a crash. Mr Smith said the plane, carrying a seventh person, an Australian permanent resident, made its usual procedural check-in halfway through the hour-long flight.
