Industrial minerals of Uganda : an interim report

This report contains scientific during a visit to the Uganda Department (GSMD) from 28 July - data gathered by S.J. Mathers Geological Survey and Mines 16 August 1992, together with the results of the laboratory evaluation of some of the samples collected, undertaken at BGS Keyworth by C.J. Mitchell. The study builds on the data already gathered by Morgan (1991) and Mitchell (1992) as part of the ODA/BGS Minerals for Development R&D project initiative in Uganda. The data will be incorporated in an industrial minerals inventory of Uganda which will be prepared in collaboration with the GSMD and the united Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The main aim is to publicize the potential of Uganda's industrial minerals, both for domestic consumption and export, in the hope of attracting the much needed investment for the mining sector.
