  • About us

    London Mining is an expanding producer of high specification iron ore for the global steel industry and is focused on identifying, developing and operating sustainable mines. 

    London Mining commenced sales from the Marampa mine in Sierra Leone in 2012 and expects to reach production capacity of 5Mtpa in 2013. A bankable feasibility study was completed in 2012 on an expansion plan to 9Mtpa and a prefeasibility study was completed in 2011 which shows that Marampa has resources to support a staged expansion to over 16Mtpa.

    London Mining has also completed bankable feasibility studies outlining plans for a further 20Mtpa of iron ore production by developing two other mines in Greenland and Saudi Arabia.
