Alluvial mining has a rich history that dates back to ancient times. One of the earliest examples of alluvial mining was the gold rush in ancient Egypt, where gold was extracted from the riverbeds of the Nile River. The Romans also utilized alluvial mining methods to extract gold, tin, and other minerals in various parts of the empire.The rare earth mineral industry in Sierra Leone is touted as a new frontier with ongoing exploration and exploitation of “new deposits”. However, a review of Sierra Leone’s historical mining development reveals not only that knowledge of the occurrence of rare earth mineral deposits date back to the early 20th century when the British colonial The Sierra Leone rare earth minerals landscape: An old

The Tonkolili iron ore mine was initially developed by UK-based African Minerals (AML) through its subsidiary Tonkolili Iron Ore in Sierra Leone, West Africa. The mining lease for the project was approved in August 2010.
