After the signing of a prospecting agreement a few months ago between Fortescue Metals and the Gabonese state, the two protagonists signed an exploration agreement on Tuesday 7 February. As a result, Ivindo Iron SA, a joint venture between Fortescue and Gabon, will begin mining the Belinga iron ore deposit sooner than expected. Its potential […]
The beneficiation process for run-of-mine detrital iron deposits and soft oxide ore involves a simple, low-risk wet ore treatment flowsheet comprising scrubbing, screening and gravity separation. Genmin has developed a method that does not require a wet tailings storage facility, in keeping with the company's dedication to environmental ...
The Gabon Equatorial Mining Company was involved with the decision to put the Belinga Iron Ore exploration project on hold and is assisting in the audit of the mine. The goal of the audit is to properly value the mine, adjudicate the environmental impact of the proposed development, and the level of investment/infrastructure needed for exploration.

ASX listed Genmin is an emerging producer of higher value iron ore in the Republic of Gabon, west Central Africa. Our three owned projects comprise one exploitation licence (mining …
Since Mining Review Africa last covered the activities of ASX-listed Genmin in depth a year ago, the company has made impressive progress on its flagship Baniaka iron ore project in Gabon, releasing a positive PFS on the project in November 2022 and following up in February this year with the signing of a long-term power supply agreement which will result in the project …
The Belinga iron ore project, located in the northeast of Gabon, has been progressively assessed by Fortescue since 2018 and is potentially one of the world's largest undeveloped, high-grade ...
Our owned flagship Baniaka iron ore project located in south-east Gabon, has been awarded a large-scale, 20-year mining permit to support a starter 5Mtpa operation, which is expected to be Gabon's first large-scale iron ore mine. ...
The Bélinga iron ore deposit is the biggest iron deposit in Gabon with more than 600 Mt of high grade ore (Fe > 60%), but only 384 Mt are less phosphorous (Combes et al., 1986a; Telfair & Hole, 1960), the more important reserves being on Babiel crest (Tab. 3). Few chemical elements have been analyzed in relation with the ore.

Manganese is a critical metal extensively used in steel production, battery manufacturing, and the chemical industry. Manganese deposits are widely distributed globally, with African manganese deposits holding a particularly significant position. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of manganese resources in Africa and analyzes …
The structural controls of the Gouap iron deposit are better observed in drillcore samples other than on the outcrop-scale. There are three principal deformation events (D 1, D 2 and D 3) that led to the development of foliation, folding and faulting respectively.The iron mineralization are mostly concentrated on the F 2 fold hinge zones and fractures that acted as …
Fortescue has been assessing Belinga since 2018, with the project potentially one of the world's largest undeveloped, high-grade hematite deposits. Fortescue chairman and founder Andrew Forrest said Belinga not only has the …
Billionaire Andrew Forrest's Australian mining group has been racking up deals in Africa, and last week signed with Gabon to carry out studies on the Mount Belinga iron ore deposit and potentially relaunch a 20-year-old project.
The benchmark ore product exported by Australia for decades has contained 62 per cent iron, but miners are struggling to maintain that quality now that many of the best deposits have been ...
The Bélinga iron ore deposit is the biggest iron ore situated in NEGabon. Very little is known about that iron ore and available data are sometimes incompatible. We revisited documents that evoke the deposit to reactualize and propose new interpretations. The Bélinga iron ore deposit is composed of thirteen (13) N-S mineralized crests that underwent 3 tectonic …
All these major ore deposits formed in the interval 2.0-2.2 Ga. Additional deposits that contain only relatively small resources but that hold important scientific information about the Earth's history include the ∼ 2.4 Ga BIF-hosted Rooinekke deposit of the Transvaal Supergroup, which formed prior to the ∼ 2.32 Ga Great Oxidation Event ...
The Belinga Iron Ore Project aims to significantly enhance iron ore mining in Gabon. Nestled in the Belinga range, northeast Gabon, this high-grade hematite deposit has the potential to bring considerable benefits both locally and globally.
The iron deposits at Belinga (Mecambo), Batoala, Boka Boka, Minkebe, Mebaga and N'gama are located in the north-eastern corner of Gabon, while Mela and Tchbanga Mouteli are in the west and south of the country respectively. The Mbalam deposit is in Cameroon immediately across the border from Belinga, and Avima and Zanaga are nearby in the Congo (Brazzaville).
Between 2014 and 2016 SRK Exploration completed a programme of mapping and magnetic surveys on the Belinga iron ore deposits in Gabon. Full logistical and administrative support was also provided by SRK for the +100 person field …

The country's northeastern region is home to huge iron ore deposits, another crucial natural resource to Gabon's economy. Oil And Gas . The country has the sixth largest proven deposits of oil on the continent, …
Iron-ore major Fortescue has signed a mining convention for its Belinga iron-ore project, in Gabon, with mining planned to start in the second half of 2023. The mining convention governs all the ...
The main three types of Mn-Fe Ore deposits are 1) Mn-rich Ore, 2) Fe-rich Ore, and 3) Fe-Mn- rich Ore (Khalifa, 2014). This was investigated dep ending o n field observations, MnO and
The Belinga iron ore deposit is located 500km east of Gabon's coastal capital of Libreville, and is expected to produce some 30 million tons of iron ore annually. The project is the country's largest investment and one of the largest in the region. ... Environment Gabon, a coalition of local NGOs, has expressed concerns about the proposed site ...
The Belinga Iron Ore Project is located in the northeast of Gabon. The deposit was initially discovered in 1955, and subsequent exploration in the 1970s identified high iron and low contaminant mineralization. The deposit sits in Archean aged rocks of the Congo Craton.
