Belinga

Belinga

Belinga is a location in Gabon with as yet unexploited iron ore deposits. These ore deposits extend into neighbouring Cameroon and Congo.

Transport

A 237km long railway branch line is proposed branching from Booue to enable these deposits to be exploited. This line may also extend to a port at Santa Clara. [ [http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-162298942.html China to build Gabon railway.(News) ] ]
