Afghanistan is not optimistic about the rare earth mineral resources development

According to several media reports in Afghanistan, the US scientific research report shows that A has copper reserves of 60 million tons, 2.2 billion tons of iron ore, 1.4 million tons of rare earth, also has rich reserves of lithium aluminum silver mercury and zinc mine, according to the US anti- section 2010 estimates, Afghanistan has mineral resources total value of about 908 billion. United States originally wanted to post-war reconstruction, develop the mineral resources, including rare earth minerals, provide a lot of employment opportunities for Azerbaijan.

But this development vision is far from realized. With the United States and NATO troops, foreign aid will be less and less, and therefore must rely on their own tax Afghanistan achieve self-reliance. It is estimated that the value of stocks of oil and gas resources in Afghanistan of 2,200 billion dollars, to develop its mineral resources can bring $ 2 billion to Afghanistan's mineral rights fees and taxes annually. However, although the United States has invested heavily in Afghanistan to develop its infrastructure and enhance the technical capacity of the Afghan government still lacks an independent study contract signed and skills management, which relies on the development of mineral and hydrocarbon resources to support their own goals still looks remote impossible.
