The Amazonas State is considered mineral reserve zone. Mineral resources are classified as non-renewable, are ubiquitous in this vast region and possibly subject to future development, given its huge commercial value, and taking account of those minerals prized for its strategic value. As the latter is always given very limited information released, however be of great global concern.

We know the existence of manganese in most of the Territory, mainly in the north, where an estimated economically exploitable. Along with manganese, iron has been located in the highlands of Sipapo on the hill Asisa or Paru and the pipe Yureba. Sands were analyzed with percentages of 30% iron. Although almost all rivers carry sand with this and several other minerals.

The existence of gold in alluvium and in veins, has been recognized in many parts of Amazon and it has been operating clandestinely in some, such as rivers Yagua Yureba and Yapacana hill. Also there on the hill Asisa Guaracara hill, hill Trocapure, Ocamo River, headwaters of the Orinoco.

Sands of very high content of titanium, have been detected in the river Yureba. While these black sands of varying quality are present in many rivers of the Amazon, much of the basin of the Orinoco and the Guainia.

Diamonds in the headwaters of the Rio Paru, rivers Sipapo Cuao, Ocamo, Duida hill, North High Ventuari and limits with the State of Bolivar; missing to explore many sites of basal conglomerate rock outcrop Roraima and indicative of the existence of diamonds.

Molybdenum has been present in samples taken in the Northern foothills of Mount Duida. Another mineral that is in abundance, as prospecting work carried out in some places is beryllium.

Zirconium samples are located in relative abundance in the sands of many rivers where there are also plenty of rocks of granitic composition and acid. Granite, the most abundant of these natural resources, is present all across the state and naturally found in many different forms and qualities.

Bauxite. In samples taken several years ago by the explorer Don Melicio Perez recalled in the red hill Corocoro and other sites in the valley of Manapiare Bauxite found them very good quality. It also appears that there is at Cerro La Neblina, Brazil limits.

White sand is almost pure quartz and abundant in many rivers, mainly the black water. These sands, also from the Orinoco river, can be well used for glass and glass industries. For several parts of Amazon are real pleasures of pure rock crystal with different sizes. The abundant quartzite could be used for making fine glass ornaments or for industrial use. As electronic devices.

Kaolin premium is almost always cropping up in the beds of many rivers and in many different places, forming deposits of great extent. The results of kaolinite samples examined so far have yielded very flattering to any farms or installation of tiles and ceramics industries.

Mica sheets abundantly drag both the Orinoco near its headwaters, as some tributaries Mavaca, Ocamo, Padamo. Particles marked yellow have been taken by some unsuspecting tourists as gold, having a strong resemblance to this mineral.
