ARTISANAL GOLD MINES

The region around Siguiri and more globally the whole of north-eastern Guinea are major gold mining areas in the country. Industrial and artisanal mines share the territory in search of the best veins. Obviously, the means used by both are totally disproportionate. You will find multiple extraction sites scattered throughout the region, where most often artisanal gold miners work with very little equipment and in very difficult and often dangerous conditions.
