The county mining industry is under developed despite the potential. The exploration of iron ore is ongoing and this is expected to bring fortunes to the county. In the recent years, mining of iron ore has been undertaken on a small scale by prospectors. Though this has not been exploited, an iron belt exists in the county. We are forming specific and targeted partnership to seriously prospect for commercial mineral deposit. Other mineral potential is in precious stones, mercury and mica.
Quarrying & Sand Harvesting
Quarrying is an economic activity for substantial population of the county. The activities of quarrying and sand harvest will be regulated to safe guard the environment and secure tangible benefits to the ordinary people involved in the activities. With the rapid growth currently witnessed in the building industry the county government regulate the activities of quarrying and sand to make sure that they are beneficial to the individuals and county at large. Sand harvesting and quarrying will be done in sustainable manner. Alternative to quarrying like block lying and interlocking bricks making would greatly create sustainable employment. Interlocking block making using sands which is in plenty in the lower parts of the county on commercial bases has huge business potential.
