There's a contradiction in this page. As explained in cassiterite, this mineral isn't fit for extracting iron from, but tin. One cannot correct this not knowing what kind of ore is actually extracted near Kigali. Is it some form of iron one (hematite, magnetite or something alike), tin ore or both?

I can find no reference (save for clones of this article on other websites) for Iron deposits in Rwanda, only gold, cassiterite (tin ore) and wolframite (tungsten ore). So, I've changed the Iron ore to Tin ore which matches Cassiterite. If anyone knows better please revert / change. CheekyMonkey 13:12, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)


Another contradiction: In 1907, Rwanda was under German rule, not under Belgian rule.

  • Agreed. This has now been corrected. CheekyMonkey 22:32, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
