Eteke is a place in the region of Province de la Ngounie in Gabon at 1°30'0" south of the equator and 11°28'48" east of the Greenwich Prime Meridian.
Eteke is situated on a cleared hilltop approximately 26 km uphill from Yeno. Eteke is one of the higher points in the central Gabonese rainforest. Eteke was the hub for the Gold industry in the region. Belgians were supposedly the first to arrive on their way north from Congo circa 1920. The Gold business around Eteke was at it's heyday in the 1950's and 60's. According to locals, the business died down in the 70's and 80's. But gold continues to be traded in the area. [1]
