Interesting, wasn't aware of that.
I chatted with an Exxon guy in Astan (plane ride from Kandahar to Kabul) and he said they do have petro deposits but that they are deep and the rock is very unstable and that make drilling extremely problematic....why no one has gone after it, it is not viable even with todays high prices.
I'm not sure about mineral deposits.
