The country owns mines with 60 million tons of copper, 2.2 billion tons of iron ore, 1.4 million tons of rare earth elements and other metals like silver, gold, aluminum, mercury and lithium.

The survey also shows that Afghanistan has potential for gas and oil. Ibtimes quoted scientist Said Mirzad, who is in charge of the US geological survey program, said mineral resources will help Afghanistan get rid of poverty and enhance its effectiveness in fighting crime and terrorism. However, the war devastated the country and needed to build infrastructure before embarking on mining resources.
Only 1.4 million tons of rare earth has helped Afghanistan become a "rich man" because 90% of rare earths are now originated from China, while the country imposes strict export quotas to preserve talent. original.
