ABOUT
A mining company from Freetown, built for the whole chain
Starlight Minerals started as a [gold and diamond exporter] and grew into an integrated mining company: own licences, own workshop, own crews. The head office is in Freetown; local representatives work for us in Liberia, Mali, DR Congo and Madagascar. We act as operating partner for foreign manufacturers and investors and work with local miners and communities.
