Bagla Hills are located in eastern Sierra Leone within the newly created Gola National Park near the border with Liberia. The site has been the subject of recent controversy between developers and conservationists. The Gola National Park has been subject to a study and report into the conflicts and lack of clarity between the mining and forestry sectors in Sierra Leone by Global Witness. The Bagla Hills are home to some of Africas most threatened wildlife including the Jentink's Duiker. The deposit was first discovered in the 1970s by the now defunct company Bethlehem Steel. Their prospecting report suggests a potential yield of several billions of tonnes of ore in the deposit, however the area has not bee resurveyed since and the potential iron ore yields are speculative. A railway in Liberia almost reaches the border at Kongo which is 15 km short of Bagla Hills. However the border is the Mano river. == Maps == * (UN Map of Sierra Leone - no railways shown at all. ) * (UNHCR Atlas map ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bagla Hills」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
