According to geologists, economists, and other
experts, Afghanistan has a treasure trove of
untapped resources that may have a combined value
of more than 3 trillion.   After being absent
for two decades or so, the Taliban have
reacquired control of the natural resources of
Afghanistan. According to a former minister who
was in charge of the mines, the country yielded
resources worth 3 trillion. This estimate
towards the end of the last supercycle of
commodities took place sometime in 2010. As you
can probably guess, the value of the substances
can be even more now. It can be extremely
beneficial to the world as it recovers from the
shock of the coronavirus that sent the prices of
everything soaring.

The substances The Afghanistan mineral resources
consist of substances like gold, copper, natural
gas, oil, coal, uranium, bauxite, lithium, rare
earth metals, lead, gemstones, zinc, sulfur,
talc, gypsum, travertine, and marble. If you
continue reading, youll find a breakdown of the
primary substances found in the country,
according to the mining ministry of the country
and the US government.

Copper Based on a report created in 2019 by the
Ministry of Mines and Petroleum of the country,
there are about 30 million tons of copper there.
A mining company in the nation, which is also the
best onyx supplier, corroborates this survey. The
roadmap of the mining sector published by the
ministry in the very same year mentioned the
presence of yet another 28.5 million tons of this
material in undiscovered deposits of
porphyry. Gemstones Historically, Afghanistan
has been a primary source of lapis lazuli, which
is a semi-precious stone featuring a deep blue
color. Miners have been extracting this substance
in the nations northern Badakhshan province for
several thousand years. Other gemstones are also
available here, including emeralds and rubies.
According to the 2019 Afghan report, the highest
grades of lapis lazuli may have a monetary value
of 150 per carat.

Rare earth metals and lithium An internal memo
from the US DoD in 2010 described the country
using this exact quote the Saudi Arabia of
lithium. In other words, this nation can play a
crucial role as a supplier of this metal used in
manufacturing batteries. The country can be as
vital as the Middle East, which has massive
quantities of crude oil. Again, in 2019, another
report from the mines ministry says that the
nation holds 1.4 million tons of rare earth
minerals. Theres a group of seventeen elements
perfect for their applications in consumer
electronics and military equipment.

Conclusive statements
This country may be one of the poorest nations in
the world. Nonetheless, it sits on one of the
most valuable treasure troves of minerals in the
world. The size of the country equals Texas, and
its full to the brim with useful and crucial
substances. It results from the violent collision
of the Indian subcontinent with the continent of
Asia. Even the Geological Survey of the USA
started inspecting the mineral resources when the
armed forces of the USA drove the Taliban from
power back in 2004.
