2024 Report
Full data release with tables here.
In 2024, Liberia was not a globally significant producer of mineral commodities. Production of diamond, gold, and iron ore contributed 18.5% to Liberia’s gross domestic product. Exports of these commodities accounted for \$1.1 billion or 85% of the country’s total goods exports. Other mineral commodities produced in Liberia included stone, sand, and gravel. The legislative framework for the mineral sector in Liberia is provided by the Minerals and Mining Law of 2000. The Ministry of Mines and Energy oversees the mineral sector and provides for the exploration and management of Liberia's mineral and energy resources. Most mineral commodities were produced by large-scale mining companies, small-scale producers, and artisanal producers (Liberia Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, 2023, p. 38, 59; Central Bank of Liberia, 2025, p. 25, 42; Ministry of Mines and Energy, 2025).
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—Africa and the Middle East, which are available at https://www.usgs.gov/centers/national-minerals-information-center/afric…;
