New Zealand is not particularly mineral rich compared with larger countries such as Australia, Africa, ... . NZ does have iron sand which comes from the volcanoes. And which is the basis for a small local steel making industry. Alluvial gold was found fairly widely in the 1800s, and vein gold is still mined at a rate of a few tons per year. There are de[osits of such things as tungsten, atimony, sulphur, silver and so on, but not in huge quantities. Oil and Natural gas have been found in recent decades.
