Afghanistan's hidden treasures!

Afghanistan has many valuable mineral resources underground. Ten years ago, the US military and geologists in that country got the news.
Experts say that with these mineral resources, it is possible to change the country's economy in a decade. But does the Taliban have the technology to use that resource?

According to a report in Anandabazar, Afghanistan has  1 trillion worth of 'hidden treasures. One of these minerals is lithium element.
Pollution-free vehicle batteries, the most coveted in the modern world for mobile phone batteries. However, it is rare in nature and the method of extracting the element from the mine is said to be very complicated which is becoming an obstacle in the way of widespread use.
According to experts, this rare 'hidden treasure' can bring Afghanistan back to light. Apart from that, there are many rare elements including copper, gold, ore, and iron in the soil of different provinces. All of this "hidden treasure" could be a tool to turn around in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. It could turn the country's economy around.

Rod Schoonover, a scientist and security expert who founded the Ecological Futures Group, said it was impossible to say how much "hidden treasure" there was in Afghanistan. In order to keep pace with global warming and climate change, the use of fossil fuels must be stopped and electric vehicles must be introduced. It also requires the essential lithium, copper, aluminum, and neodymium elements to recharge the batteries. Bolivia now has the largest reserves of the mineral lithium. Afghanistan's reserves could compete with his.
He said the world has a supply of much-needed elements such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel that the first three countries (75 percent in total) - China, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Australia - could match the mineral wealth of Afghanistan. Using these minerals, Afghanistan could become the richest country in the region of Asia within a decade. But will the Taliban be able to give the benefits of huge mineral resources to the country's economy this time to keep the power in their hands?
