2024 Report
Full data release with tables here.
In 2024, Fiji was not a globally significant producer of mineral commodities. Production of mineral commodities represented only a minor part of the economy of the country. Mineral commodities produced in Fiji included cement, gold, iron sand, and silver. The legislative framework for the mineral sector is provided by the Environment Management Act, the Land Use Decree 2010, the Land Use Regulations, the Mining Act of 1965 (amended in 2010), the Oil and Petroleum Act, the Quarry Act, and the Surveyors Act. The Mineral Resources Department under the Ministry of Lands and Mineral Resources develops mining policies, provides geologic information, and facilitates the exploration for and the development of mineral resources. Most mineral commodities were produced by domestic and foreign private and public companies (Ministry of Lands and Mineral Resources, 2023).
Data on mineral production are in the Production table (formerly table 1). The Facilities table (formerly table 2) is a list of major mineral industry facilities. More-extensive coverage of government policies and programs can be found in previous editions of this chapter in the U.S. Geological Survey Minerals Yearbook, volume III, Area Reports—International—Asia and the Pacific, which are available at https://www.usgs.gov/centers/national-minerals-information-center/asia-…;
