Introduction:
The Gambia does not have large discovered deposits of precious
minerals or gems, but there are deposits of lower value minerals in
certain areas. Successful mining of sand for valuable minerals is
taking place near the coast South of Banjul, in a high amenity area
under strict environmental control.

Investment Opportunities:
Opportunities exist initially in exploration for minerals and
oil and gas, and the Government of The Gambia is very supportive
of these efforts.
