Gabonese laterite is an important mineral resource, mainly distributed in the Gabonese region of Africa. Llaterite is a type of soil rich in iron and aluminum that is commonly formed in tropical and subtropical regions. Gabonese laterite is mainly composed of iron oxides and aluminum oxides and is rich in minerals such as hematite and bauxite. Due to the large amount of iron oxides, Gabonese laterites are usually red or brownish red. The laterite is formed by long-term weathering and leaching under tropical climatic conditions. The parent rock on the surface gradually decomposes in an alternating wet and dry environment, forming a soil layer rich in iron and aluminum.
