North Korea has the world's largest Tungsten reserves and the world is running out of Tungsten. It’s considered the world’s second most endangered substance by the British Geological Survey.
It's It’s found in everything from drill bits to solar panels, in fact, it's the most expensive component in solar panels and the solar industry is about to explode worldwide.
Virtually any product which requires steel contains it.

we'll probably nuke them and take it all desu
>>58355308
>the world is running out of Tungsten
are we preparing for another great war?
>>58355369
>nuke them
You can't nuke them or else South Korea becomes toast
>>58358019
False.
>>58355308
Didn't you learn yet that having resources =/= prosperity?
>>58358525
saudi arabia tho?
>>58358525
yes, just look at africa
also singapore is the wealthiest city and it has no resources, it's just effecient
>>58358575
I would call that exception but then I remembered that SA is still a shithole. You better point at Qatar and UAE. Then yes-those are exceptions.
>>58355308
i hate commies so much
>>58358019
No, they consider SK a part of them. They'll toast Japan instead
>>58358525
Mexico is full if oil and resources but the government still manages to fuck it up
>>58355308
Do you mean wolfram?
>>58359229
That's what I'm talking about. Resources are usually just enrich the elite of the state making everyone else just as poor as they were.
>>58359277
Volfram you mean.
Is tungsten found in asteroids? Near earth asteroid mining is probably going to be a thing in the near future, so North Korea might not be sitting on quite the goldmine. Although it will definitely be cheaper to mine it terrestrially for a long time.
>>58359375
Everything is found on asteroids. But deliviring stuff to the orbit is more expensive than possible cost of digged tungsten or whatever.
But it looks like China has the most.
we're not running out of tungsten, we just haven't mined nearly enough yet you idiot
we're running out of tungsten reserves.
USA+Australia has like 50% of the world's tungsten deposits iirc
>>58359613
Nah, China has a shitton of it.
>>58359613
We're running out of cheap tungsten.
So effectively we are running out at this price.
>>58358575
Africa tho
Pls don't run out if tungsten world.
I NEED MUH TUNGSTEN CARBIDE CUTTING TOOLS.
>North Korea
>bright future
huehuehue
>>58358019
Two birds, one stone.
Do we know if any is under the ocean floor? Is it possible that there's a lot of valuable minerals/metals in the middle of the oceans and we haven't discovered them yet? I mean, if we've only been exploring the continents and shallow waters, we've really only been searching through a tiny portion of the earth's crust. I have no idea about this kind of stuff, but if new technology let's us mine in the middle of the ocean and deeper in the crust, could that open up huge reserves thatll feed our ever growing hunger for these elements?
>North Korea
>bright future
huehuehue
>>58359908
t. The only country to have ever been nuked, ever.
I hope the norks make your shitty island radioactive forever.
>>58355369
they'll nuke you back
The situation of Chinese economy is falling.
I think democracy movement like the Tiananmen Square Incident will come again until 2020 in China.
>Ceaușescu's Romania collapsed before the end of Soviet Union.
And North Korea will collapse before or at same time of the democracy movement in China.
>>58359953
australia got nuked by britain
>>58359953
edgy
>>58358791
You think they won't nuke SK? They consistency threaten to do so. Just because they think it's a part of them doesn't mean that they won't do everything they can do destroy the 'puppet government".
>>58360412
