Iron ore in West Africa West Africa has numerous deposits and major important and widespread deposits are ‘banded resources of iron ore. Currently it accounts for iron formations’ (BIFs), most of which belong to a 15 per cent of African production with most mines Lower Proterozoic supracrustal sequence that rests located in supracrustal rocks in Sierra Leone, unconformably on crystalline Archean basement Guinea and Liberia (BGS, 2015).

  • Nimba's Profile
    Nimba’s Profile The Flag of Nimba County: - (Valor, Purity and Fidelity reflected in the stripes) Nimba was part of the central province of Liberia which included Bong and Lofa. It became a full-fledged county in 1964 when President William V.S. Tubman changed the provinces into counties. Nimba became one of the original nine counties of Liberia. Over the years, other sub-divisions have been added making the total of 15 counties. Nimba is located in the North-East Region of the country. The size of Nimba is 4,650 square miles. In his book, Liberia Facing Mount Nimba, Dr. Nya Kwiawon Taryor, Sr. revealed that the name of the county "Nimba", originated from "Nenbaa ton" which means slippery mountain where beautiful young girls slip and fall. Mount Nimba is the highest mountain in Liberia. Nimba is the second largest county in Liberia in terms of population. Before the civil war in 1989, there were over 313,050 people in the county according to the 1984 census. Now Nimba Population has increased to 462,026. Nimba is also one of the richest in Liberia. It has the largest deposit of high grade iron ore. Other natural resources found in Nimba are gold, diamonds, timber, etc. In the late 50's, Nimba's huge iron ore reserve was exploited by LAMCO-the Liberian-American Swedish Mining Company. A considerable portion of Liberia's Gross Domestic Product, GDP, was said to have been generated from revenues from Nimba's iron ore for several years. The Flag of Nimba County: - (Valor, Purity and Fidelity reflected in the stripes) There are negotiations going on for a new contract for the iron ore in Nimba.

The zircons were separated from six samples of siliciclastic sedimentary rocks from the main Neoproterozic stratigraphic units of the Anti-Atlas belt, from the SiIWa and Zenaga inliers. The data suggest that the north part of the WAC formed during three cycles of juvenile crust formation with variable amount of reworking of older crust. The younger group of zircons, with a main population clustering around 610 Ma, has a predominant juvenile character and Keyworili: evidences of moderate mixing with Paleoproterozoic and Neoarchean crust, which supports that most Anti-Atlas belt igneous and metamorphic rocks where zircons originally crystallized were formed in an ensialic mag­ Morocco Hfisotopes matic arc environment.

    Sa˜o Luı´s Craton and Gurupi Belt (Brazil): possible links with the West African Craton and surrounding Pan-African belts E. L. KLEIN1,2 & C. A. V. MOURA3 1CPRM (Companhia de Pesquisa de Recursos Minerais)/Geological Survey of Brazil, Av. Dr. Freitas, 3645, Bele´m-PA, CEP 66095-110, Brazil (e-mail: [email protected]) 2Researcher at CNPq (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientı´fico e Tecnolo´gico) 3Laborato´rio de Geologia Isoto´pica/Para´-Iso, Universidade Federal do Para´, Centro de Geocieˆncias, CP 1611, Bele´m-PA, Brazil, CEP 66075-900 Abstract: The Sa˜o Luı´s Craton and the Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks of the Neoproterozoic Gurupi Belt in northern Brazil are part of an orogen having an early accretionary phase at 2240– 2150 Ma and a late collisional phase at 2080 + 20 Ma. Geological, geochronological and isotopic evidence, along with palaeogeographic reconstructions, strongly suggest that these Brazilian terrains were contiguous with the West African Craton in Palaeoproterozoic times, and that this landmass apparently survived subsequent continental break-up until its incorporation in Rodinia. The Gurupi Belt is an orogen developed in the southern margin of the West African–Sa˜o Luı´s Craton at c. 750–550 Ma, after the break up of Rodinia. Factors such as present-day and possible past geographical positions, the timing of a few well-characterized events, the structural polarity and internal structure of the belt, in addition to other indirect evidence, all favour correlation between the Gurupi Belt and other Brasiliano/Pan-African belts, especially the Me´dio Coreau´ domain of the Borborema Province and the Trans-Saharan Belt of Africa, despite the lack of proven physical links between them.

  • Wings Mission Trip to Liberia – January 2020!
    Wings Mission Trip to Liberia – January 2020! Africa Africa Liberia Liberia Wings For LIFE International is planning a mission trip to Liberia, Africa in January 2020. We will host prison and community Family Days and trainings in prisons, orphanages, churches, and slums. We will fly into Monrovia and our full itinerary will be posted as soon as it is completed. Raymond Bombo is the Wings For LIFE International – Liberia Executive Director. He has already hosted a Christmas and an Easter Community Family Day. In November he plans to start our educational program, Wings For L.I.F.E. – Life-skills Imparted to Families through Education. We will go and do in-person training not only for him, but his Board of Directors, other leaders in Liberia, and others we meet along our journey. TEAM MEMBERS will need the following: A calling to go to Liberia and help me with this mission. Like to take photos? Lead daily devotions? Be the team “Doctor” or “Nurse”? Team cheerleader? Logistics coordinator? Personal funding to cover the costs of the trip. General good health and personal stamina. A willingness for adventure, new culinary treats, and a desire to meet others who want to help families of prisoners, people behind bars, and the ‘least of these’. I will need to raise funds to help cover my way, and also to pay for costs for Liberian team members, American team members if we raise enough, and supplies for the trip. 1. All donations given to Wings are tax deductible. 2. If more money is raised or donated to Wings than is actually needed by an individual to cover their costs or the whole team’s cost, all money remains with Wings and can’t be returned to the donor.
