Belarus Mining
Although not rich in minerals, Belarus has been found
to have
small deposits of iron ore, nonferrous metal ores,
dolomite,
potash (for fertilizer production), rock salt,
phosphorites,
refractory clay, molding sand, sand for glass production,
and
various building materials. Belarus also has deposits of
industrial diamonds, titanium, copper ore, lead, mercury,
bauxite, nickel, vanadium, and amber, but little progress
has
been made in exploiting them.
