Haut-Ogooué Province, Province with mining resources in East Gabon.

Haut-Ogooué Province spans across 36,547 square kilometers of eastern Gabon, featuring plateaus covered with dense forests and savanna landscapes.

The province earned recognition in the mining sector during the 20th century with discoveries of uranium, manganese, and gold deposits throughout its territory.

Three primary ethnic groups - Obamba, Ndzebi, and Téké - maintain their traditional customs and languages across the eleven departments of Haut-Ogooué.

Franceville International Airport connects the province to major cities, while regional roads link the mining centers of Moanda and Bakoumba to surrounding areas.

The mineral francevillite, containing uranium and discovered in this region, received its name from Franceville, the provincial capital of Haut-Ogooué.
