Unlocking Gabon’s Iron Ore Potential
The Belinga Project is a new, globally significant iron ore opportunity set to transform Gabon’s economic landscape.
This joint venture between Fortescue and the Gabonese Government is focused on safely and responsibly developing a high-grade, hematite iron ore deposit in the Belinga range.
Our mission is to drive sustainable economic growth, create local employment, and foster skills development while respecting the environment and empowering communities.
Location
Situated in the Belinga range in the northeast of Gabon, the project sits within the province of Ogooué-Ivindo, which is home to around 25,000 people.
This area, rich in natural resources, is set to become a vital hub of economic activity and development.
Our Project Development Journey
The Belinga deposit, found in 1955, has undergone extensive exploration since 2022. A first cargo of iron ore was exported from Gabon in December 2023, to showcase and prove the project’s viability. Since then we have focused strongly on exploration and studies, as well asplanning for an integrated mine, rail and port solution.
The Belinga Project is about creating a sustainable future for Gabon and its people. With each phase, we are committed to delivering economic growth, respecting the environment, and empowering local communities.
Engaging Stakeholders
Ivindo Iron is actively engaging with a broad range of stakeholders to gather feedback on the Belinga Project, understand different perspectives, and communicate project updates and activities.
We recognize the importance of open, transparent communication and are committed to fostering strong, collaborative relationships with our stakeholders.
