Sierra Leone forms the central part of the sundered West African craton whose counterpart forms the Guyana Shield of northern South America. The Archean rocks of Sierra Leone consist of a granitic basement containing elements of early sedimentary formations which allowed the process of mineralization with  gold, chromite, tin, copper, nickel, antimony, arsenic, and iron ores.
 Alluviation has led to economic concentrations of diamonds, bauxite, and lateritic iron ores and to heavy mineral concentrates.
Exploration has been carried out for decades, but the impact over the environment must be taken into consideration.
