Abstract
The African continent is the second largest land mass in the world with an area of over 30,000,000 km2. The continent is known to contain appreciable quantities of minerals and metals of great economic value.This paper reviews the major known and potential solid mineral resources of the African continent. It provides some relevant statistics that gives a quantitative picture of their distribution and an evaluation of their future potentials. A brief analysis of selected minerals of great importance to the economies of African countries and with significant potentials with regards to the future of the continent is also undertaken. Finally, the perspectives of the African mining industry is reviewed.
