In April 2014, SRK began managing and executing exploration work for the Belinga iron ore project in northeastern Gabon. Initially the work involved refurbishing and expanding the abandoned field camp and installing infrastructure. This work facilitated a programme of regolith and geological mapping as well as ground magnetic and resistivity geophysical surveys. Surface drilling is the next step. SRK has set up a project office in Libreville, together with a field support facility in Makokou. The logistics for this project has been a challenge given the remote location in mountainous terrain and the high canopy rainforest.
