Beyla (N’ko: ߓߋߟߊ߫) is a town and urban sub-prefecture located in south eastern Guinea. It is the capital of the Beyla prefecture of the Nzerekore region of Guinea.
Dyula merchants established the settlement in the early 1200s as a hub for gathering slaves and kola nuts. Nowadays, it serves as the primary commercial hub for rice, livestock, tobacco, coffee, palm oil, and palm kernels.[2]
Beyla is the main town serving the Simandou iron ore project. The mine is operated by a British-Australian mining corporation called the Rio Tinto Group. Its presence in Beyla has lasted approximately 17 years. The Rio Tinto Group has also invested about $700,000,000 USD towards the Guinea government for the purpose of exploring and likely prospecting of the mountain.[3]
