Nimba Range
The Nimba Range is a range of mountains in West Africa, where the borders of Guinea, Ivory Coast, and Liberia meet.
The Nimba Range forms part of the southern extent of the Guinean Highlands, a highland region that stretches from northern Guinea to northern Côte d'Ivoire, and rises 1,000 m above the surrounding lowland plains. The highest peak is Mount Richard-Molard, on the border of Côte d'Ivoire and Guinea, at 1,752 m (5,750 ft). "Mount Nimba" may refer either to Mount Richard-Molard or to the entire range. Other peaks include Grand Rochers in Guinea at 1694 meters (5558 feet), Mont Sempéré in Guinea at 1682 meters (5518 feet), Mont LeClerc in Guinea at 1577 meters (5174 feet), Mont Tô in Guinea at 1675 meters (5495 feet), and Mont Piérré Richaud in Guinea at 1670 meters (5479 feet).〔"Grand Rochers, Guinea." Peakbaggers. Accessed 27 September 2015. ()〕
The headwaters of the Cavalla, Cestos, Saint John, and Sassandra rivers originate in the Nimba Range.
==Geology==
The Nimba Range is narrow ridge approximately 40 km long, which runs northeast-southwest. It is composed mostly of Precambrian rock, including granite and quartzite which contain deposits of iron ore.〔"Mount Nimba Strict Nature Reserve, Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire". Encyclopedia of Earth. Accessed November 10, 2012. ()〕 The iron ore deposits in the range have been mined since the early 1960s, and diamond mining also takes place.〔"Guinea Highlands". ''Encyclopedia Brittanica.''
