Summary Abstract:	This report, in English, brings together and amplifies information already given in the Quarterly Progress Reports made during the Author's work in the (ex) Provincia de Angola (now Angola), during the years 1945 - 1948, and in a number of Special Reports dealing with the mineral resources of the country. The mineral resources of Angola comprise a considerable variety of materials, including both metallic ores (i.e. gold, copper, lead, zinc, manganese, iron, and silver) and non-metallic substances of industrial importance (i.e. diamond, mica, sulphur, gypsum, bituminous materials, lignite, and peat). The report presents a review of the relevant geology and of the mode of occurrence and distribution of the metallic ores and non-metallic substances. The sites of the occurrence of 14 minerals, which are described in the report, are shown in the map Plate I Angola Mineral Occurrences at 1:4M scale. Plate III, Orographical Sketch Map of Angola at 1:8M scale is also included in the report.
