Le gisement de fer de Belinga dans la province gabonaise de l’Ogooué-Ivindo.

The Australian mining powerhouse Fortescue is currently evaluating its strategic position regarding Gabon’s rich iron ore reserves. Industry observers are keen to understand if the company can successfully negotiate expanded terms or greater concessions from the Gabonese government, headquartered in Libreville. At the heart of these discussions lies the substantial Belinga iron ore deposit, a key resource situated within Gabon’s Ogooué-Ivindo province. The potential for Fortescue to enhance its involvement in this valuable project remains a pivotal question for the region’s mining future.
