This particular site is near the village of Tatakourou, about 40km (25 miles) from the city centre of Siguiri.<\/p>\n

Seventeen miners were killed in a landslide in Guinea two years ago, and a dozen more nine months later. The search for gold attracts clandestine miners from Mali, Senegal and other West African countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
