Alien52 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Wikiwotsit says: "Main article: Mining in Afghanistan Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institution explains that if Afghanistan generates about $10 bn per year from its mineral deposits, its gross national product would double and provide long-term funding for Afghan security forces and other critical needs.[216] The United States Geological Survey (USGS) estimated in 2006 that northern Afghanistan has an average 1.6 billion (bn) barrels (bbl) of crude oil, 15.7 trillion cubic feet (440 bn m3) of natural gas, and 562 million bbl of natural gas liquids.[217] In December 2011, Afghanistan signed an oil exploration contract with China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) for the development of three oil fields along the Amu Darya river in the north.[218] Other reports show that the country has huge amounts of lithium, copper, gold, coal, iron ore and other minerals.[53][54][219] The Khanashin carbonatite in Helmand Province contains 1,000,000 metric tons (1,100,000 short tons) of rare earth elements.[220] In 2007, a 30-year lease was granted for the Aynak copper mine to the China Metallurgical Group for $3 billion,[221] making it the biggest foreign investment and private business venture in Afghanistan's history.[222] Government officials estimate that the country's untapped mineral deposits are worth between $900 bn and $3 trillion.[56][55][57] One official asserted that "this will become the backbone of the Afghan economy" and a Pentagon memo stated that Afghanistan could become the "Saudi Arabia of lithium".[56][223][224][225]" So the lithium looks like it's worth having.Very useful when we all have Bipolar disorder.
