Manganese Mine in Gabon

Manganese Mine in Gabon
Manganese is extracted from a mine near Moanda in southeastern Gabon. This small country on Africa's west coast is one of the continent's richest nations in natural resources. In addition to abundant supplies of manganese, resources such as iron, uranium, and petroleum are increasingly important in Gabon's export trade.
