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