What is a plateau? In terms of Physical Geography and Geology, a plateau can be defined as an area situated on a highland.
It generally consists of flat landscape.
It is raised very high as compared to the surrounding areas.

Most of the mineral deposits are found in plateaus
Explanation:
Plateau is an area of fairly-level high ground. These plateaus are formed due to the collision of tectonic plates and with other tectonic plates or land masses. So, there is high volcanic activity in these regions.
The volcanic eruptions solidify over long periods of time. This solidified magma are highly rich in mineral reserves. That's the reason why plateaus are rich in mineral deposits.
