Jigawa State boasts deposits of over ten different types of solid minerals in commercial quantities, spread across the Chad Formation and Basement Complex geological formations. These include granite, kaolin, soda ash (trona), limestone, quartz, tin, columbite, and iron ore.

The solid minerals with the largest production are industrial rocks; limestone, granite, laterite, sand, shale and clay that constitute over 95% of production by tonnage and 90% by value. The metallic minerals produced are mainly lead-zinc, manganese, gold, tin and columbite-tantalite which are exported and forming about 0.2 of total exports.

Besides gold, Zamfara is richly blessed with other solid minerals, which should bring a fortune to Nigeria, the state and its people but the wealth is largely stolen by criminal elements.
