Geology of Canacona mainly consists of Granite, Meta-basalt, Gneiss and Dykes. The oldest rock of Goa, which is dated back to 3,200 million years known as Anmod Tranjamite gneiss, is found in Canacona at Char Rasta. The area between Palolem and Patnem is known for intrusion of dykes into granite and gneiss.
As far as mineral wealth of Canacona is concerned it is very poor. Bauxite is the only mineral, which is found in Canacona, but the deposits are very small and they cannot be exploited, as they are economically unviable. Large quantity of sand is also available especially at Rajbag and Polem.
