Mining in East Africa is dominated by gold (Tanzania), small-scale tanzanite, gemstone artisanal mining, industrial-minerals quarrying for the construction sector, and a developing extractives sector in Uganda. The industry runs from large international operators to fully formalised local cooperatives and a long tail of small businesses serving the sector with equipment, logistics, security, and consulting.

EABD lists mining operators, gemstone traders with appropriate licensing, quarrying firms supplying construction, equipment and explosives suppliers, mineral testing labs, and consulting firms supporting the sector with geology, environmental, and compliance services.
