Ühtlasi plaanib valitsus kuulutada välja hanke nafta töötlemiseks maa põhjaosas, kus arvatakse leiduvat 1,8 miljardit barrelit naftat, vahendas Reuters. Järgmisel aastal kuulutatakse välja veel üks hange maardla anastamiseks, kus arvatakse peituvat 1,6 miljardit barrelit naftat.

16. juunil teatas Ameerika Ühendriikide valitsus, et Afganistanis on leitud vaske, kulda, koobaltit ja liitiumi, mille varusid hinnatakse 1 triljonile dollarile. Vaid mõne päeva järel teatas Afganistani mäe- ja tööstusministeerium, et maavarade maksumus ulatub tegelikult 3 miljardi dollarini.

The Pentagon is authorizing the deployment of another U.S. 1,000 troops to Kabul, boosting overall number expected in Afghanistan to about 6,000, two U.S. officials tell me.

The additional 1,000 come from an 82nd Airborne Division brigade already deploying in response to crisis.

Overall numbers now will include:

~ 2K Marines
~ 2K soldiers from 82nd
~ 1K from composite unit with Minnesota National Guard
~ Nearly 1K that had been assigned to protect embassy and airport prior to last week

This move means about half of the 82nd Airborne Division brigade combat team deployed to Kuwait in case needed will now likely head to Kabul. About 3,500-to 4,000 were deploying to Kuwait, in case needed.

Two B-52H heavy bombers including 60-0029 supported by two KC-135R tankers including 57-1506 have headed to #Afghanistan to patrol over the #Kabul. You can't see second aircraft of each type, because they have turned-off their transponders.

Afghanistan has mineral deposits that could potentially turn it from being one of the poorest countries on Earth to one of the richest.
