The War on Mali What You Should Know : An Eldorado of Uranium, Gold, Petroleum, Strategic Minerals


.

Gold:

Mali: Africa’s third largest gold producer with large scale exploration ongoing. Mali has been famous for its gold since the days of the great Malian empire and the pilgrimage to Mecca of the Emperor Kankou Moussa in 1324, on his caravan he carried more than 8 tonnes of gold! Mali has therefore been traditionally a mining country for over half a millennium.

Mali currently has seven operating gold mines which include: Kalana and Morila in Southern Mali, Yatela, Sadiola and Loulo in Western Mali, and mines which have recently restarted production notably Syama and Tabakoto. Advanced gold exploration projects include: Kofi, Kodieran, Gounkoto, Komana, Banankoro, Kobada and Nampala.

Uranium:

encouraging signs and exploration in full swing. Exploration is currently being carried out by several companies with clear indications of deposits of uranium in Mali. Uranium potential is located in the Falea area which covers 150 km² of the Falea- North Guinea basin, a Neoproterozoic sedimentary basin marked by significant radiometric anomalies. Uranium potential in Falea is thought to be 5000 tonnes. The Kidal Project, in the north eastern part of Mali, with an area of 19,930 km2, the project covers a large crystalline geological province known as L’Adrar Des Iforas. Uranium potential in the Samit deposit, Gao region alone is thought to be 200 tonnes.

Diamonds:

Mali has potential to develop its diamond exploration: in the Kayes administrative region (Mining region 1), thirty (30) kimberlitic pipes have been discovered of which eight are show traces of diamonds. Some eight small diamonds have been picked in the Sikasso administrative region (southern Mali).

Precious stones consist of the following and can be found in:

Circle of Nioro and Bafoulabe:

Garnets and rare magnetic mineralsCircle of Bougouni and Faleme Basin: Pegmatite mineralsLe Gourma – garnet and corindonsL’Adrar des Ilforas – pegmatite and metamorphosing mineralsHombori Douentza Zone: quartz and carbonates

Iron Ore, Bauxite and Manganese:

significant resources present in Mali but still unexploited. Mali has according to estimates more than 2 million tonnes of potential iron ore reserves located in the areas of Djidian-Kenieba, Diamou and Bale.

Bauxite reserves are thought to be 1.2 million tonnes located in Kita, Kenieba and Bafing- Makana. Traces of manganese have been found in Bafing – Makana, Tondibi and Tassiga.

Other mineral resources and potential in Mali

Calcarous rock deposits:

10 million tonnes est. ( Gangotery), 30 million tonnes est. ( Astro) and Bah El Heri ( Nord de Goundam) 2.2 Million tonnes est.

Copper:

potentialities in Bafing Makan ( Western Region) and Ouatagouna ( Northern Region)Marble : Selinkegny ( Bafoulabe) 10.6 MT estimated reserves and traces at MadibayaGypsum: Taoudenit ( 35 MT est.), Indice Kereit ( Nord de Tessalit) 0.37 MT est.Kaolin: Potential estimated reserves ( 1MT) located in Gao ( Northern Region)Phosphate: Reserve located at Tamaguilelt, production of 18,000 t/per annum and an estimated potential of 12 million tonnes. There are four other potential deposits in the North of 10 million tonnes.

Lead and zinc:

Tessalit in the Northern Region ( 1.7 MT of estimated reserves) and traces in Bafing Makana ( Western Region) and Fafa (Northern Mali)

Lithium: Indications in Kayes ( Western Region) and estimated potential of 4 million tonnes in Bougouni ( Southern Region)Bitumen schist:

Potential estimated at 870 million tonnes, indications found in Agamor and Almoustrat in the Northern Region.Lignite: Potential estimated at 1.3 million tonnes, indications found in Bourem ( Northern Region)Rock Salt:

Estimated potential of 53 million tonnes in Taoudenni ( Northern Region)Diatomite: Estimated potential of 65 million tonnes in Douna Behri ( Northern Region)

Mali’s Petroleum potential already attracting significant interest from investors

Mali’s Petroleums potential has been documented since the 1970’s where sporadic seismic and drilling revealed probable indications of oil. With the increasing price of global oil and gas resources, Mali has stepped up its promotion and research for oil exploration, production and potential exports. Mali could also provide a strategic transport route for Sub-Saharan oil and gas exports through to the Western world and there is the possibility of connecting the Taoudeni basin to European market through Algeria.

Work has already begun to reinterpret previously gathered geophysical and geological data collected, focussing on five sedimentary basins in the North of country including: Taoudeni, Tamesna, Ilumenden, Ditch Nara and Gao.

All that Islam and Jihas garbage just to fool your guys ..

folks , Natural resources of Africa was plundered by France and and and

this will stop, no matter what

things going to change and nobody can stop it

Whatever is reported by the mainstream media, the goal of this new war is no other than stripping yet another country of its natural resources by securing the access of international corporations to do it

This war to plunder other people's natural resources and not war against Islam or Jihad

Wow 137th in the world. Man who wouldn't want that economy! It's obvious that it's all about the colonialism of a country that exports almost all of it's goods to China and Korea. :mrgreen:

I preferred the "It's about the Prophet Youtube Video!" argument. I mean at least there was a video that you could go look at in puzzlement.

Right now that gas plant is worth more than the gas coming out of it due to global demand.

Africa the natural resource richest continent .. and .. the poorest continent

this will change

French and British and western multinationals will be chased out and nobody can stop it .. cost of doing business will be raised and raised to a point that makes sense to settle with African people on a just and not on a rubbery platform

coming to a theater next to you

well folks , all these are the ripple effect of Iranian revolution .. similar to French revolution that made clear no such thing as unconvinceable blue blood, Iranian revolution made clear modern (financial) nobility too can be brought to it's knees and that is what starting to happen in Africa (and South America)

Mali is a just stepping stone leading to Nigerian light sweet crude.

Think this way : while poor Nigerians drill oil pipeline for a bucket of fuel (and die by explosion of the pipeline) fat pig corrupt Nigerian officials buy 50+ million Pound houses in Hampstead London .. notion Nigerian officials are corrupt just rubbish as for corruption needs 2 to tango .. west, western governments approve, pays to those tugs for protection to steal African natural resources

this on the road for change

amen

“We’ve come in the name of Islam, to teach the Americans what Islam is.”


See you were wrong it's all about cultural exchange. We should carpet bomb the villages to explain the US understanding and exchange.

Their ability to disrupt global fuel supplies is what gives all of these conflicts disproportionate Western attention. We are junkies and they are messing with our junk.

Don't know who those rebels are, they very well might be agent provocateur for western multinationals (and their governments) wanting to have an excuse to confront Chinese entry into Africa, high probability, therefore lots of silence what happened .. probably #s are exaggerated for a purpose

but

Notion Islam or Muslims are against modernism, again science, is a Zionist/Western propaganda to fool western Joe to manufacture public consent for stealing and killing peoples of resources rich countries

Islam, contrary to Christianity, is a great promoter of Science (seeking knowledge, education, science IS dictated in Koran) .. no such thing as flat planet earth in Islam, no such thing a Galileo fiasco in Islam

Hydrocarbon industry reviews security


Companies re-evaluate business in high-risk regions

Consultants say the industry will step up security, and may re-evaluate business interests in regions deemed politically unsafe.

Security remains a top priority in countries such as Iraq and Nigeria, where there have been instances of rig workers being kidnapped. The perception of risk for foreign oil workers and their families in north Africa, has soared.

Yet companies are only expected to pull out if the In Amenas attack becomes part of a pattern.

“The main issue to assess is whether the Algerian event represents a new ongoing threat and a general associated elevation in the risk environment or a one-off occurrence which may now result actually in tighter security in the region,” says Nick Robson, the head of Jardine Lloyd Thompson’s credit, political and security risk business.

During the civil war in the 1990s there were no significant attacks on any industry facilities.

As a material producer of gas – and supplier to southern Europe – Algeria has enjoyed interest from companies including BP, Statoil and Repsol, despite an increasingly punitive tax environment. The attack came just as the government was finally taking steps to improve business conditions and was due to introduce more generous fiscal terms.

“From 2006, after the government reversed the hydrocarbons reform law of 2005, the hurdle had become the regulatory environment ... Now, all of a sudden, security has returned as a concern,” says Geoff Porter, of North Africa Risk Consulting.

A neo-imperialist power grab dressed up in “war on terror” rhetoric.


Since the old colonial power began bombing the West African country on 11 January, the Paris government has wrapped its actions up with chivalrous language of saving the region, Europe and indeed the world from “Islamic extremism”. France, we are led to believe, was “forced to act” on behalf of the beleaguered Francophile regime in Mali’s southern capital, Bamako, to save it from falling into the hands of “Islamists” allegedly “linked to Al Qaeda”.

But closer examination of background events shows that France sabotaged low-key attempts that were under way to find a political solution in Mali between the French-backed regime in Bamako and the northern separatist rebels. These talks and a ceasefire had opened only weeks before the French military intervention. The collapse of those negotiations paved the way for France to militarize the country – a step that now runs the risk of plunging the impoverished West African territory into years of internecine war.

The cynical agenda is to create another failed state that will be more tightly under the political control of France, giving the French government a pretext to return to its former colony and the wider Francophone region.

Earlier this week, French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian let the cat out of the bag when he said that the aim was the “total re-conquest” of Mali.

Nobody want Iranian revolution, or even visit Best Persia. Just ask African. African say "Hahahaha! No, Bwana! If I want dust, goat holes and no chicken then I can just stay here. What I want is a lovely, rubbery platform. Can I have a passport?"
