Kenya has vast mineral deposits beneath our feet that remain largely unexploited as data gaps keep the country’s undiscovered underground wealth out of the economic system.
The production of rare earth is expected to average between 2,900 tonnes and 3,600 tonnes of concentrate per year.
A report released on the country’s potential mineral resources shows that Kenya has billions below its surface worth of minerals yet to be mapped and quantified for mining.
