Yes. There is an enormous amount of mineral resources in the Himalayas. Mining has been occurring there for centuries and then transported all over the world through the Great Silk Road. One of the royal crowns has a Spinel (ruby) the size of a Golf ball that was mined from the Himalayas. Due to the extremely rough terrain, modern mining has been kept to a minimum in Nepal and Bhutan which lack the infrastructure and financial resources required for large operations. Many outside companies have tried setting up shop there but few have worked out. Another thing limiting the mining in Nepal and Bhutan has been the importance placed on not impacting the environment which is ingrained in their Tibetan roots. They mine for; Iron, Limestone, numerous rare gems (some found only in the Himalaya), Granite, Dolomite, and many others
