Mozambique possesses vast, largely untapped natural resources, including significant deposits of high-quality coal, graphite, natural gas, iron ore, titanium (from heavy sands), and bauxite. Precious gems, including rubies and other semi-precious stones, along with tantalum, are also found. The country's geology is characterized by ancient Precambrian rocks and later Karoo sedimentary basins containing coal. While the mining sector's contribution to the economy has grown significantly, much of Mozambique's mineral potential remains undeveloped due to historical challenges like conflict and drought. 

This is a publication by the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy of Mozambique, detailing the geology and mineral resources of the country and includes contributions from various experts in the field. The publication aims to promote sustainable development in Mozambique's mining sector and provides a comprehensive overview of the geological potential and mineral resources available.
