Gabon the sweet spot for greener iron ore Miningreview
“Our main focus lies in south-east Gabon where we’ve tied up all the prospective ground for high grade DSO iron ore. Thanks to the Trans-Gabon Railway, which runs 670 km east from the Owendo port station in the capital city Libreville to Franceville in the south-east, we are well positioned to move our iron ore product once it has been The manganese deposits of southeastern Yunan contain high-quality manganese ore.

Uranium in Africa World Nuclear Association
Africa has considerable mineral deposits, including uranium. The Mounana uranium deposits in southeastern Gabon were discovered in 1956 by French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) geologists and were mined from 1960 to 1999, producing nearly 28,000 tonnes of uranium. The best known of these deposits is Oklo, discovered in 1968, which 1 GREEN ENERGY MINERALS MANGANESE USAID.GOV GREEN ENERGY MINERAL: KEY FACTS tons followed by Gabon with 2.8 million tons.

Gabon holds tremendous mineral potential, the extractive sector is dominated by oil which accounted for up to 80% of the country’s exports 45% of the GDP and 60% of the budget revenue over recent years. Gabon possesses a fair amount of gold, however, some of those deposits are located inside protected areas. Hence, the Gabonese challengeIn ground prospecting, the geologist proceeds in the following way: first ore minerals in river alluvium or moraine are sought, then the aureole of ore fragments is examined and finally the outcrop of the deposit is located. 4.2.1 Prospecting for deposit outcrops The outcrops of deposits may be topographically conspicuous even at a distance.Geological prospecting methods and indications

Volcanic Associated Massive Sulfide Deposits: Processes and
Volcanic-associated massive sulfide deposits (VMS) are predominantly stratiform accumulations of sulfide minerals that precipitate from hydrothermal fluids at or below the sea floor, in a wide range of ancient and modern geological settings (Figs. 1, 2).The outer basins in the passive margin are the main hydrocarbon-producers in West Africa. Several large rivers formed huge deltas and turbid fans such as Niger Delta, Congo Fan, Kwanza Fan, which contributed large amount of petroleum.
