Sable Mining Africa Limited has expanded its West African iron ore portfolio following the acquisition of a 123.5 sq km exploration permit in the Mount Nimba area of south-east Guinea, through its 80% Guinea subsidiary West Africa Exploration SA.

The permit, which is highly prospective for iron ore, is adjacent to the BHP Billiton/Newmont/Areva 600 million tonne Nimba iron ore project, and close to the Ivory Coast and Liberian borders.
