Potential investors have a plethora of choices, as Liberia is endowed with a variety of mineral resources, both higher value metals and industrial minerals.
Gold, diamonds and iron ore are the principal mineral resources occurring in ancient greenstone belts in many parts of the country.
Excellent potentials that are currently untapped are platinum, uranium and niobium, and base metals such as nickel, cobalt, tin, lead and manganese.
Other industrial rocks and minerals such as sulphur, phosphates, clays (kiyanite), granite, silica sand, heavy mineral sands (rutile and ilmenite) and diabase/dolorite are also known to exist in both small and large quantities.
