"On Friday February 4, the Gola Forest in South-Eastern Sierra Leone officially became a National Park. The government paper declaring the forest to become a National Park had been laid before Parliament for 21 days and became law at the end of the period."

"It is interesting to note also that part of the Gola Forest along with a similar piece on the Liberian side was recently jointly declared a Peace Park by President Ernest Bai Koroma and his counterpart President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia. But the Gola achievement has not been easy; on several occasions the communities came under considerable pressure from commercial loggers and mining interests. But the Agriculture minister stood his ground and there was an occasion when his Excellency literarily instructed an over-zealous mineral resources minister to take his hands off the Gola forest and to cancel any concessions he may have granted."

The Bagla Hills iron ore project of CIC Mining Resources inside the Gola forest.
Click up this thread for info on CIC , their MOU with CRM in Dec ( you all know China Railway Materials is in with Timis' Tonkolili project and paid $46 mil lately ) and CIC's plans to list their Sierra Leone Minerals on AIM in London.
But if SL Minerals' Bagla Hills mining concessions are now cancelled then where is Stuart Bromley going to find another project if he wants an AIM or maybe a HK listing ???
