Launch of a new geo-portal by the Gabon Mining Administration

The geo-portal has been designed and implemented by GAF and its partner Sofreco. ​

The overall aim is to make Gabon’s mining sector more attractive to private sector investments and thus strengthen economic development. The geo-portal, which includes a geo-catalogue, is a mining information promotion and communication tool dedicated to mining companies, prospectors and academics. It allows a better understanding of and easy access to the geological, geophysical and geochemical data and information available in Gabon. The geo-portal displays a selection of the most relevant cartographic data – whereas the geo-catalogue section has a wider objective, serving as a tool for securing, archiving, cataloguing and searching geoscientific information.

The work was undertaken within the project: ā€œRenforcement des capacitĆ©s de l’administrationā€ for the Ministry of Mines, Industry and Tourism in Gabon, which was awarded to GAF and its partner Sofreco. This project is part of the PAGOS (Projet d’Appui a la Gouvernance Sectorielle) programme about improved governance and is financed through the European Union via the 10th European Development Fund.

The portal is in French and can be accessed at: www.gabon-mines.org
