The history of the town of Zouérat is closely linked to the region's iron ore mining. A limited company was formed in 1952 to mine the iron deposits at Kediet Ijill. In 1958, the Société des mines de fer de Mauritanie (MIFERMA) received mining permits, and mining began in 1960. In 1974, Mifema was nationalized.
In 1981 a second iron deposit was discovered at Guelb El Rhein, 35 km north of Zouérat, and in 1990 a third at Mhadaouat, 65 km from Zouérat.
