Mauritania: Mauritania heaven mining

MINING

• Improving the geological infrastructure 
• Availability of varied and reliable data bases (mapping, environmental and geological researches & studies etc.
• Integration of the sector to the economy
• Strengthening institutional capacity
• Mining Safety and Preservation of the Environment pollution

• Gold geothermal (green rocks, shear zones)- BIF, hosting deposits of iron and gold - magmatic sulfide deposits (Ni, Cu, PGE) in the ultra basic complex and komatites - chromate + EGP in the serpentinites .
• Diamonds in kimberlitic and other gems.
• Pegmatite with rare metal (Li, Be, Ta, Nb, Th, U, Sn, W).
• Massive volcanic deposits of sulfide (VHMS) (Cu, Zn, Pb, Au, Ag).
• Deposits of pegmatite.
• Ornamental stone.
• Deposits of Fe-oxide Cu-Au-U, P, TR, Ba, F, Ag, Mo, Co, As and Zn.
• Cu, Th, U, P, F, Cu in the alkaline complex.
• Vein of Au geothermal (the shear zone).
• Pegmatite with rare metal (Li, Be, Ta, Nb, Th, U, Sn, W).
• The veins in relation to the granite, mineralization and skarn replacement (Au, Cu etc.)
• Cu hosted by the sediments (± Co, Ag, Pb, Zn, PGE, Au, U, V).
• Cu, Au, Ni, Cr ± in the amphibolites complex and serpentinites .
• Ni Co- in literate.
• Stratiform base metals (VHMS or Sedex) (Cu, Pb, Zn, Au, Ag).
• Stratiform metals base in the shallow marine sediments (Pb, Zn, Cu, Co, Ba) - phosphate and U in shallow marine sediments.
• Deposits of sandstone-type U in the continental red beds.
• Placer deposits (Au).
• Oil.
• Underground water.
• Gypsum, salt and suffers from sabkha - sedimentary phosphoresces.
• Ti and Zr in the heavy mineral sands.
• Deposits of sandstone-U deposits – oil.
• Underground water.

Mauritania also has many other indices such as peat, suffer, lead, zink, chromium, manganese black sands, uranium, rare earths, beryllium and lithium, and a potential of building materials (Grainer, sand, etc. ...) Industrial minerals and stones (gemne) ornamental stones) and various substances (clay, limestone, kaolin dolman ... etc).
