In 2001, Cambodia’s mining activities included the production of crushed stones, sand and gravel, laterite blocks, phosphate rock, and quartz sand. Most of the minerals production (except gemstones) was for domestic consumption. According to Laos’ Department of Geology and Mines, coal, copper, gemstones, gold, iron ore, lead, potash, tin, and zinc were earmarked for further exploration.
