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 of experience mineral sands dredging operations on the eastern seaboard of Australia producing premium zircon and rutile products.

Our current business is focussed on the development of two principal assets into mining operations, the Sabodala Gold Project and the Grande Côte Mineral Sands Project in Senegal, west Africa. Construction is well underway at Sabodala with the first gold pour expected in the latter half of 2008.  Production of heavy mineral sand products is targeted for late 2009.

MDL has established offices in Dakar, Sabodala and Thies to manage the development of these two projects and our 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.
