The gold owners of Sanaag: We will not share a gram with others

[Bohol]

That is good. Keep it for yourselves only let the rest starve and eat Porcupine.

The area where the gold was found in north eastern Sanaag is known as Cershida (settled by the Abdi Hamud sub clan).

Waste of time saying were not going to share it

It wont be taken out of the ground and exploited to begin with

and even if it does, it'll probably be concentrated in the hands of a few

If its going to be exploited on a large scale, enough to make a difference to the living standards of the people living there

there is going to have to be some kind of political consensus and agreements by all the stake holders who will suddenly appear out of nowhere

Western Bari and Sanaag are rich in gold while eastern Bari (Qandala) is rich in silver

QANDALA LEAD – SILVER DEPOSITS
These deposits were explored by a series of underground openings (principally adits) by the Italian company COMINA from about 1939 to 1941. The operations were closed and abandoned in 1941 following the British lead invasion of Italian Somaliland. They have never been reopened.
The known mineralisation appears to be a series of Mississippi Valley Type (“MVT”) silver rich lead – zinc deposits of unknown size that are distributed along about a 20km strike length of limestones of assigned Jurassic age. Visible galena and its oxidation products was observed in and around the old workings. The surface expression of the mineralisation is an iron rich capping. Historical assays suggest that this mineralisation is rich in silver.
A number of surface samples have been collected and are being returned to Australia for confirmatory assays.
This mineralisation occurs in rocks, which are direct correlatives of those that host the Jabali zinc – lead – silver deposit in Yemen. The Jabali deposit is reported to contain a resource of 12.6Mt at a grade of 8.9% Zn, 1.2% Pb & 68g/t Ag. This deposit is reportedly undergoing preliminary mining studies by an English mining company for a proposed development at 800,000tpa for an anticipated mine life of 12 years.

A literature study suggests that there are many geological similarities between the style of mineralisation at Jabali and that seen at Qandala.
Qandala is considered an exciting prospect.

MAJIA YAHAN GOLD PROSPECT
This prospect is located about 30km south west of Boosaaso (about 45km by road).
...

Majia Yahan is the site of the former Italian tin mining venture (pre 1939) which site was later (1972 – 74 incl.) evaluated for its tin potential by a Bulgarian group – Technoexportstroy-Minstroy.
This work was later reported on by Prof. Boris Kamenov for the Somali Geological Survey. Kamenov (1977) made the following comments about the gold mineralisation at Majia Yahan, viz. “The interesting feature of this product (the tin concentrate) is the content of Ta, Nb and Au”. He further states that one sample showed a gold content of 300g/t.
Kamenov (1977) further notes that “A band of carbonate limonite gold bearing veins occurs within the metamorphites of the Inda Ad Series. These are concentrated mainly about the northern contact (and) the width of this belt is some 60-150m.” He notes that the individual veins average about 20 – 40cm in thickness with a range of from 2 – 4cm up to 2 to 3m and that “practically without exception they are characterized with traces of native gold and electrum (gold – silver alloy).”
These are clearly very encouraging comments – made from work done before the price of gold was deregulated. They are in a general sense supported by the results of the four previously collected rock chip samples discussed above.
Range proposes to commence its exploration work in Puntland by implementing a soil sampling prospect at the Majia Yahan Gold prospect with a view to drill testing the resultant gold in soil anomalies as soon as practical.
However Mr. Blackburn confirms to the company that any of the above statements that relate to mineralisation apply solely to the nature of the conceptual model for the mineralisation under consideration and further by extension that;
• That any interpretation of the above statement relating to potential quantity and grade of mineralisation at Qandala, Majia Yahan and Dhurbo is conceptual in nature;
• There has been insufficient work to define a mineral resource; and
• It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

@fuad what companies are you talking about? only the locals are allowed to enter the area. The local Abdi Hamuds already collected many gold nuggets.

Mashallah! Nice piece of gold!

HY areas are blessed. We have the gold in northern Sanaag and the oil in Oodweyne. Allah loves the righteous.

I know there are no companies now, but the qabill saying their not going to share it assumes that they're going to benefit from having the gold deposits in their territory.

What am saying is, it doesn't matter what they have in their territory, nor does it matter whether they want to share it or not, because they are unlikely to sufficiently benefit from it anyways without meeting certain preconditions, which they will unlikely meet. The same thing is true for all the Somali other territories which claim to have a type of mineral or resource, some are of-course worse than others in how close they are to benefiting

 

[Bohol]

@fuad they are already benefiting from it. From young and to the old the locals are collecting the gold nuggets. It will be sold in Dubai gold market by some of the locals who are there or elsewhere in the world. You don't need foreign companies when you have the connections yourselves.

On a small scale they may benefit, but its inconsequential in the larger scheme of things

You need investment and equipment to truly benefit and for it to reach everyone and enrich the clan

nuggets are not good enough

When the stuff on the surface finishes, they'll need to find a way to reach the deep layers

Gold mining equipment on a large scale is not that expensive. One of the millionaires
that shares the same roots as the community can simply fund it. Local millionaires
such as Mohammed Yusef are already involved in the oil exploration in Oodweyne.

Wow I'm not from there but good for them I'm for somali success across our lands.

You see we have oil gold diamonds fish uranium petroleum and yet look at us. Ilahi is blessing us to much for our own good. Mashallah only a noble somali could achieve this medicoreness takbir

i support this move, i hope reer berbera and hargeisa demand their taxes to stay in their regions too and fellow the example of reer Sanaag. We need people to develop their regions

Reer some of Berbera and reer North Hargeisa have to share with everyone else.

because we get back much more

There should be large deposits of emerald and other gem stones in Sanaag too. Blessed region it is indeed
