Jun 13, 2019 Algeria has abundant natural resources including oil, gas, solar energy, iron, zinc, lead, silicon, and helium. The country is classified as an upper middle-income country, mainly due to its oil and gas resources.
Hydrocarbons are the leading sector in Algeria's mineral industry, which includes diverse but modest production of metals and industrial minerals. In 2006, helium production in Algeriaaccounted for about 13% of total world output. Hydrocarbons produced in Algeria accounted for about 2.9% of total world natural gas output and about 2.2% of total world crude oil output in 2006. Algeria held about 21% of total world identified resources of helium, 2.5% of total world natural gas reserves, and about 1% of total world cru
Algeria's nonfuel minerals were used extensively as raw material for domestic manufacturing, but some, such as high-grade iron ore, phosphate, mercury, and zinc, have also been exported since the early 1970s. The state mining and prospecting corporation, the National

Useful minerals. Within Algeria, there have been discovered and explored the deposits of oil, natural gas, mineral coal, ores of uranium, iron, manganese, copper, lead, zinc, mercury, antimony, gold, tin, tungsten, and also phosphorites, barite, and so on (Table 1). Algeria holds the 3rd place in the reserves of oil within Africa.

Iron ore and phosphate rock are currently the only minerals that are being produced in the country on a large scale. New projects in the pipeline or under consideration should see output of both increase dramatically in the future. Indeed, the country is set to become one of the leading international producers of phosphate by 2021.
Jun 13, 2019 Countries and regions bordering Algeria are Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, and the Mediterranean Sea. The country has a number of natural resources including oil and gas, solar and wind energy, mineral resources

Petroleum and natural gases are the country’s most important mineral resources. Algeria currently exports about 90% of its crude oil to parts of Western Europe. Its largest gas and petroleum deposits are found mainly in the Eastern Sahara and these are transported to various sea ports by means of pipelines.
This region is uninhabited desert with the exception of several oases, but it conceals rich mineral resources, most significantly petroleum and natural gas. Physical features of
Algeria's mineral resources (phosphates, iron ore and oil) were also exploited but Algeria did not grow to become industrialized. The majority of Algerians were forced to move out of the fertile plains and into the mountains. They were replaced by the influx of colons from Europe. Food scarcities later brought the Algerians back into the cities

Mineral fuels (coal, petroleum) account for more than 90% of the export earnings for Algeria, Equatorial Guinea, Libya, and Nigeria.
Jul 04, 2013 The production of hydrocarbons is still by far the leading mineral sector, accounting for the bulk of export earnings of Algeria. The Governmentʼs mineral industry fosters a diverse but rather modest production of metals. The bulk of Algeriaʼs iron ore output was extracted from the Ouenza Mine in the east of the country, where the hematite
MINERAL RESOURCES OF IRAQ Geosurv, Iraq. Exploration for mineral resources and industrial rocks started in Iraq as early as 1930 and was continued by foreign companies until 1965, then Geological Survey of Iraq commenced a comprehensive systematic program of geological mapping and mineral exploration that covered all the Iraqi territory and was based on actual field mapping (1:100

Known minerals include diamonds (production expected to range 30-35 million carats for the next 10 years), copper, nickel, cobalt, gold, soda ash and coal.
May 06, 2021 In 2012, Algeria produced a total amount of 143,764 ktoe of energy. The main energy sources are crude oil (49.5%) and natural gas (50.4%). In comparison, the numbers concerning the renewable energies are much smaller and close to zero. Other energy sources such as coal or nuclear power are not used.
Algeria has proven deposits of valuable minerals such as gold, zinc, copper, lead, uranium and phosphates, as well as some gemstones, including diamonds. For the past few years it has also produced barite, bentonite, diatomite, dolomite, gold, gypsum, iron ore, limestone, nitrogen fertiliser, phosphate rock, salt and silver, among others.

Jul 04, 2013 The bulk of Algeriaʼs iron ore output was extracted from the Ouenza Mine in the east of the country, where the hematite ore is ranging from 53-60% iron content. Iron ore is also mined at Bou Khadra south of Ouenza. Two lead-zinc ore deposits occur in the Oued Amizour mountain region, but most lead-zinc mining operations are still artisanal.
Algeria's considerable natural gas reserves of about 3,200 billion cubic meters of proven recoverable gas were expected to last more than sixty years at 1992 production rates. Natural gas had become the country's most valuable export as a result of the decline of oil production and prices--and as an outcome of the government's diversification
