As reported by the clan representatives during the CDA consultations, Grand Bassa County is endowed with ample exploitable natural resources including gold, timber, diamonds, crude oil, uranium, sand and rock. Investments in these sectors will yield significant dividends to the people, helping to reduce the high level of youth unemployment that, in addition to its social and economic costs, has also security implications.

Timber and gold are explored but on a small scale, while crude oil and uranium are unexplored. There are no mining and logging companies active in County at present. This is partly due to the ban on timber that was lifted not so long time ago, but also to lack of infrastructure and basic services, limited supplies, scarcity of qualified manpower, and security fears.

The beginning of the operations of large corporations and the rehabilitation of the basic infrastructure (Buchanan port, Monrovia-Buchanan highway, and the railway Buchanan-Yekepa) will facilitate the arrival of other companies in the County.
