Gabon may delay awarding rights to Belinga deposit

摘要

West Africa's Gabon may not award a concession for its Belinga iron ore deposit until 2014, according to a Reuters report citing its minister of industry and mines Regis Immongault. “One of the commitments was for the Chinese to work as rapidly as possible and to get into production. Unfortunately, the Chinese did not meet the expectations of the government,” the news agency quoted Immongault as saying.
