WATCH THE MOVIE CONTAGION. Make sure you see the very last scene. Its sad to hear someone proclaim, Ebola started because they eat bats. Could it be the demand from developed countries on iron ore (steel) has pushed people further into poverty and destroyed the habitats where these bats used to reside happily with their buddies - the ebola virus (which is not deadly to bats). Put people near displaced wildlife... what could possibly go wrong? Businessmen think nothing of hiring private aircraft to reach Guineas abundant reserves of diamonds, gold, uranium, aluminium ore and bauxite, because the returns are unparalleled. The country is an almost textbook example of what some refer to as the paradox of plenty: it sits atop some of the most significant untapped mineral reserves in the world while its people live in squalor, without clean water, electricity, education or infrastructure....Beny Steinmetz, one of the wealthiest men in the world, came here, sources say, with a clear mission....successfully obtained, the rights to mine Simandou – a mountain range in Guineas remote south-east containing millions of tonnes of iron ore of the highest grade. According to some estimates, the ore from Simandou could generate around 110.42 billion euros over the next 25 years
