Lunsar on kaupunki Sierra Leonen Pohjoisen maakunnan Port Lokon piirikunnassa. Kaupunki on 59 347 asukkaan (2015) Marampan päällikkökunnan hallintokeskus.[1][2] Vuonna 2004 Lunsarin asukasluku oli 36 108. Noin 97 kilometriä Freetownista itään sijaitseva Lunsar on yksi tärkeimmistä kaupankäynnin keskuksista pohjoisessa Sierra Leonessa. Kaupungin asukkaat ovat suurimmilta osin temnejä.

Historia

Lunsar on ollut pääasiassa kaivoskaupunki. ”Sar” tarkoittaa temnen kielellä kiveä, joka selittää kaupungin nimen. Lunsarin entinen nimi on ollut ”Ro-Sar”, joka tarkoittaa paikkaa josta löydetään kiviä. Ro-sarin nimi muuttui Lunsariksi siirtomaavallan aikana.[3] Marampa-Masimeran päällikkökunnan perinteisenä kauppakeskuksena riisille, palmuöljylle sekä jyville, Lunsar alkoi kehittymään vuoden 1933 jälkeen kun Marampassa, joka sijaitsee noin 6 kilometriä Lunsarista itään, alettiin louhimaan ja hyödyntämään rautamalmia. Marampan kaivos suljettiin vuonna 1975. Kaupungissa on useita laitoksia, muun muassa hallituksen terveyskeskus, roomalaiskatolinen sairaala, nuorten muslimien yhdistys sekä useita kouluja.[4]

Lunsarin kaupungin läheisyydessä on toiminut yksi Sierra Leonen viidestä keskeisimmästä kaivoshankkeesta,[5] vuoteen 2014 saakka brittiläisen London Mining -yhtiön operoima Marampan rautamalmikaivos. Vuonna 2014 taloudellisiin vaikeuksiin ajautuneen kaivoksen uudeksi omistajaksi tuli Timis Mining Corporation. Kaivos tavoittelee vuosittain noin 5–7 miljoonan rautamalmitonnin tuotantoa.[6][7][8]
