Macalder Mines

Located Approximately 39 kms from Migori Town nearby Thimlich, this is a 90 km gold belt that has been exploited for over 70 years by artisan miners using traditional methods.  The Macalder Mine is a distal deposit where it lacks alterations on the footwall. The ore deposit overlays the banded ironstones which deposited earlier than the massive sulphides. The mine is a gold site believed to be of great economic value to the country.
