According to the CIA factbook they are as follows:

  • coal
  • chromium ore
  • asbestos
  • gold
  • nickel
  • copper
  • iron ore
  • vanadium
  • lithium
  • tin
  • platinum group metals
  • emeralds
  • steel

I am aware that there are also diamonds all over the country; it has also been confirmed that these deposits of diamonds are amongst the biggest in the world.

Deposits of Uranium have also been discovered in the country in 2005. 60% of the land in Zimbabwe has gold deposits underneath. Towns like Kwekwe in the Midlands have been built on unquantifiable deposits of gold.
