This article discusses the recently discovered mines in Afghanistan. The discovered deposits of minerals may be worth around $1 trillion including possibly the world's largest deposit of lithium.

I love how they say Afghanistan could become the, "Saudi Arabia of lithium". I feel like Obama as well as America is at a point in the war, where all we want to do it find positives in Afghanistan. So what if there's minerals in Afghanistan, until we solve the problems above the ground, those minerals are useless!!
