It is known for its goldsmiths and as the birthplace of Sekouba Bambino Diabaté.
Placer gold is mined here.[4] North and northwest of Siguiri, and along the Tinkisso River, is the Bouré region. This region replaced Bambouk as a major gold producer in the 11th-12th centuries. Gold is also found along the Sankarani River.[5][6][7]
This is the place where Sundiata Keita fought Soumaoro Kanté,[citation needed] and located here is a former French fort built in 1888, and the Siguiri Airport.
