Mineral Deposits Limited traces its history to Mineral Deposits Syndicate, and was one of the pioneers of the highly regarded Australian mineral sands industry. MDL has more than 60 years' experience in mineral sands dredging operations on the eastern seaboard of Australia producing premium zircon and rutile products.

Our current business is focused in Senegal, west Africa with a producing gold mine at the Sabodala Gold Project and the development of a mining operation at the Grande Côte Zircon & Ilmenite Project. The Sabodala plant has commissioned smoothly with the first gold bars being produced in mid-March 2009. Project construction at Grande Côte is expected to commence during 2009.

MDL has established offices in Dakar, Sabodala and Thies to manage these two projects and its exploration programs.

MDL's strategy is to build a leading diversified mining company and further grow by identifying additional opportunities utilising the Groups exploration and development experience.
 
We are explorers and developers with a team of talented and highly experienced mining professionals.  MDL conducts its exploration, drilling and development of projects with the long-term benefit of the company, its shareholders and the community in which we operate uppermost in our minds and deeds.

We also use our wide-ranging industry relationships to identify and employ the best available exploration, technical and management personnel and consultants.
