IMPORTANCE OF MINERAL RESOURCES:

Industrial development:
Different kinds of equipment and heavy machinery needed for industries are made from a mineral resource. The energy needed for industries such as petrol, diesel, kerosene and coal are also supplied by mineral resources. Mineral resources also console the raw materials bases for industries.
⚫⚫⚫
Agricultural development:
Mines provide materials for the adoption of improved technology for agricultural development. Metals are used in the manufacture of agriculture tools and implements like shade, machines and irrigation equipment for agriculture development.
⚫⚫⚫
Sources of energy:
The extraction of minerals such as natural gas, diesel, petrol and kerosene can be used to meet the growing energy demand. It may replace the import of these products and thus save the valuable foreign exchange.
⚫⚫⚫
Development of self-dependency:
If we can explore and use our mineral resource to produce these goods in our own country, we would be independent in this regard. It would also stop the outflow of domestic capital and would correct unfavourable balance of trade as well.
⚫⚫⚫
Accelerate the process of capital formation:
Maximum exploration and utilization of mineral resources need a large amount of capital investment. If an initial investment of the huge amount of capital could be made the establishment of small, medium and large scale industries could be ensured. Establishment of such industries would encourage the process of further capital information which would help in utilizing the mineral resources further.
