Oyo State, south western Nigeria, is enriched with mineral resources distributed throughout the State. These are metallic and industrial minerals. However, most of these minerals remain untapped due to inadequate information in terms of location, quantities and qualities that foster development and marketability. With the use of GIS, a database of Oyo State Solid Mineral Inventory has been created. This work has targeted creation of road networks through towns and villages and showing approximate location of mineral sites. All these criteria having been determined by GIS, are now sponsored in a website. This entails wide coverage and enables potential investors to have information about the minerals in Oyo State.
