Although minerals are essential for human welfare, however, their extraction is associated with both opportunities and challenges. Especially as the historical concerns around the work conditions and competitiveness of the mining sector are increasingly complemented by a growing number of other issues. As such, the overarching goal is to find ways by which the sector can promote sustainable development, as the last decade has seen a large expansion of the sector globally, as well as increased interests in the sector’s short and long-term economic, environmental, and social effects. Since the concerns about an imminent shortage of metals and minerals have been off-set by improved technology and the discovery of new sources. As the focus now is on other sustainability challenges like access to land, managing acid mine drainage, ensuring regional benefit-sharing, and the rights of indigenous people. A situation that is crucial in Cameroon, as it is embodied with a huge quantity of mineral resources, which are mostly found in vulnerable communities. However, despite its geological wealth, mining is still to play a major role in the economic development of the country. Therefore, a study on the state of sustainability and environmental challenges in the mining sector of the country, permits in identifying the key points to herald for improvement towards achieving a sustainable mining sector in the future. For this reason, the paper reviews the general perspective of mining sustainability - by analysing the scope, potential, policy, national laws and regulations of the mining sector in Cameroon. It also examines the latest historical developments on issues of the environmental and social impact assessment system in the mining sector in the country. As these help in identifying the current challenges of implementing sustainability in the sector, as well as providing some recommendations and future directions for further research works.
