Le développement économique, social et culturel d’un pays dépend de la bonne organisation de ses archives. Les documents d’archives possèdent une valeur probatoire, sans eux, rien ne pourrait être affirmé avec certitude, car le témoignage humain est sujet à l’erreur et à l’oubli.

Les archives représentent la mémoire d’un pays. La bonne organisation des archives est un des aspects de la bonne organisation administrative.

For example, a deadline to apply for a scholarship can be easily missed if it is not posted to the community at a proper time. As a result, and for better and faster communication among the geological society of Africa, the GSAf will use a Gmail group ([email protected]) to facilitate the communication between society members. Some advice and rules: Since any member can post and all the members will receive your message, please do not overload the society by un-related news. Post only important news that wants immediate action from members. Improper messages can lead its owner to be blocked from posting.

  • Gold in Mali
    Acta Montanistica Slovaca Ročník 4 (1999), 4, 311-318 Gold in Mali 1 Imrich Kušnír Zlato v Mali Článok sa, okrem stručného úvodu do geológie regiónu, zaoberá popisom hlavných zlatých ložísk Mali, kde sa t.č. ťaží viac ako 20 t zlata ročne. Súčasné objavy zlata v tejto Západoafrickej krajine sú totiž príkladom, ako orientácia geologického prieskumu územia s dobrým potenciálom pre určitú nerastnú surovinu a použitie vhodnej metódy môže viesť k úspechu. Zlato sa v Mali ťaží už od nepamäti, ale ekonomicky významné ložiská (s prepočítanými zásobami 50 až 240 ton Au), sú objavované len v poslednom období. Presnejšie odvtedy, odkedy sa prieskum sústredil na zóny proterozoických epimetamorfovaých vulkano-sedimentárnych hornín (tzv. Birrimian greenstone belts) Západoafrického kratónu, s použitím geochémie, ako jednej z hlavných prieskumných metód. Keď si prieskumári uvedomili, že "Birrimian" môže mať rovnaký potenciál na zlato ako archaické "greenstones", ktoré sú hlavným zdrojom zlata na svete a že geochémia môže byt účinnou metódou pre prieskum krajiny s plochým povrchom, bez východov hornín, ktorá je charakteristická pre väčšinu územia Mali (a celej Západnej a Strednej Afriky). Key words: Mali, West Africa, West African craton, Tuareg shield, Proterozoic, Birrimian, Pan-african orogeny, precambrian greenstones, gold, lode gold, auriferous tourmalinites. Introduction Gold mining in Mali has a long history. In 1433, its renowned emperor Kanku Mussa brought 8 tons of gold on his pilgrimage to Mecca. Local population has exploited gold since immemorial times. Nowadays, several thousands of "artisan" miners exploit numerous sites and their production is estimated at more than 2 tons of gold per year. Industrial mining began in the 1970's (Kalana mine), following a large exploration programme by SONAREM with the soviet assistance (Golder et al., 1965; Boltroukevitch, 1973).

Malgré les potentialités de l’agriculture, de l’élevage, de la pêche et les produits de cueillettes et bien que la majorité de la population soit agro-sylvo-pasteur, la sécurité alimentaire n’est pas une réalité au Mali. Le gouvernement malien conscient de cette situation, a fixé la sécurité alimentaire comme une des priorités de sa politique de lutte contre la pauvreté au Mali. La commune rurale de Bafoulabé, à l’instar d’autres communes au Mali, malgré les potentialités agro-sulvo-pastorales et halieutiques, la production agricole est pluviale et est tributaire des conditions climatiques mais aussi des capacités techniques, économiques et sociales des producteurs. Or les activités principales de sa population sont l’agriculture, l’élevage. Les autorités communales conscientes de cette situation, ont développé une stratégie appropriée pour faire face à ces contraintes afin atteindre la sécurité alimentaire et lutter contre la pauvreté d’où l’élaboration d’un plan qui s’étend sur cinq (5) ans.
