Afghanistan: Rich in Gold, Iron and Copper

American geologist have just discovered large deposits of gold, iron, copper, cobalt and other key industry metals like lithium within Afghanistan borders. Currently it has been valued at more than 1 trillion US dollars.

I am pretty sure that Russians were well aware of these rich mine deposits prior to their war with the region back in the 1970's but were to bogged down in guerilla fighting to start mining.

News like this is just going to add fuel to the fire on the true reasons why we are over there. To think, everyone thought it was just the poppy fields.
