Playas may be sources of mineral deposits formed by evaporation. Water evaporating in closed basins precipitates minerals such as gypsum, salts (including sodium nitrate and sodium chloride), and borates. The minerals formed in these evaporite deposits depend on the composition and temperature of the saline waters at the time of deposition.

Central Africa is well-endowed with mineral resources, and it is host to some world-class mineral and energy deposits. Many geological maps at scales of 1:100,000 to 1:1,000,000 are available for the region. Moreover, geoscientific studies carried out over a long period of time have resulted in more than 5000 bibliographic references, but no ...

In addition, it hosts over 30% of the global mineral reserves, 8% of the global oil reserves, and 7% of the global natural gas reserves. To put this in context, mineral trade alone accounted for about 28% of GDP and 70% of overall exports. For some countries, mineral trade represents their largest source of public revenue.
