Mineral occurrences of Kenya
A wide range of minerals, both metallic and industrial, are known to occur in the country. These include barite, gypsum, gold, silver, lead, talc, titanium, salt, a variety of gemstones, (mainly ruby and several varieties of garnets) dimension stones, silica sand, heavy mineral sands, manganese, zinc, wollastonite, graphite, kaolin, copper, nickel, chromite, pyrite, various clays, rare earth elements and pyrochlore.
The Geological environments for the mineralization can be summarised as follows:
The Archean Nyanzian Craton area of Western Kenya where metallic mineralization of base and precious metals are known to occur: gold, copper and silver have been mined in the past. They are also potential for ferrous and no-ferrous metals. Kimberlitic bodies have also been reported.
The Proterozoic Mozambique Belt that is most extensive in middle parts of Kenya, north to South, in which minerals such as kyanite, corundum, graphite, wollastonite, marble, asbestos, fluorspar, magnesite, kaolin and a variety of gemstones are found together with minerals associated with basic and granitic rocks.
The sedimentary rocks of Palaeozoic to Quaternary are widespread. These rocks are sources and hosts of limestone, gypsum, clays, manganese, construction materials and hydrocarbons. Base metal mineralization, lead-zinc-barite and copper are known to occur in the sedimentary basins along the Coastal belt.
Heavy mineral sands also occur along the coastal ranges and recently deposits of about 3.2 billion tons of titanium bearing sands have been discovered and are being mined.
The volcanic rocks associated with the Rift System host a variety of minerals and construction materials. The volcano-sedimentary accumulations have deposits of clays, evaporites, trona (soda ash), diatomite, natural carbon dioxide, kunkar and gypsum. Gem quality rubies have recently been discovered.
Carbonatites are known to be host of several minerals found in the Nyanzian shield area, around Lake Victoria shores and in the southern part of the coastal sedimentary basin. Mrima, one of the carbonatites known for potential of niobium and rare earth elements (REE) is found in the coastal basin, south of Mombasa. Other sources include Buru, Homa, Ruri and Rangwa hills in western Kenya.
