Dabola (N’ko: ߘߊߓߏߟߊ߫) is a town in central Guinea. As of 2014 it had a population of 38,617 people.[1] It grew around the railway line from Conakry to Kankan and is known for the Tinkisso Falls and for its important dam.
Transport
[edit]While the main line is metre gauge, the branch to Tougué is standard gauge.[2]
Mining
[edit]Development of iron ore deposits was proposed in 1994. This would require upgrading of the understrength line from the port of Conakry or a new heavy duty line to a new port at Matakan.[3] There are also deposits of bauxite.
