After a long and dangerous journey across th e Sahara they arrived in the Empire of Songhai. There the soldiers would enter in a series of battles adventures and emerge victorious.

The location of the mines were a secret known only to one tribe which lived along the southern Niger River and guarded by the silent trade. full article: http://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/morco_1591.html You may be aware of the Book "The Golden Trade of the Moors" Another interesting book: On Trans-Saharan Trails: Islamic Law, Trade Networks, and Cross-Cultural Exchange in Nineteenth-Century Western Africa Ghislaine Lydon .
