Two prominent types of mining in Africa are gold mining and diamond mining. Gold mining is widespread, particularly in countries like South Africa and Ghana, where significant deposits are extracted for both local use and global markets.

These mining activities significantly impact local economies, employment, and sometimes lead to environmental and social challenges.
