Afghanistan has abundant mineral resources, including known deposits of copper,
iron, barite, sulfur, talc, chromium, magnesium, salt, mica, marble, rubies,
emerald, lapis lazuli, asbestos, nickel, mercury, gold and silver, lead, zinc,
fluorspar, bauxite, beryllium and lithium
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Afghanistan Geological Survey (AGS)
estimated numbers of undiscovered deposits in Afghanistan by using a geology-
based assessment method.
In this assessment teams of scientists compiled information about known mineral
deposits and evaluated the possible occurrence of undiscovered deposits of all
types. Quantitative probabilistic estimates were made for undiscovered deposits
of copper, mercury, rare-earth elements, sulfur, chromite, asbestos, potash,
graphite and sand and gravel at depth less than 1 kilo meter.
http://www.pubs.usgs.gov/of/2007/1214.

Estimates of known and
undiscovered copper recourses
total nearly 60 million metric tons
of copper.
Resources of iron in known
deposits are more than 2,200
million metric tons of iron ore.

Message from President
Afghanistan has a long way ahead toward sustainable and multilateral development. Development of
infrastructures like roads, railway, small and medium dams and new urban areas can be assumed as the
first steps. Finding and development of financial support needed for these steps looks vital for
Afghanistan. Proper usage of natural wealth such as water and mineral resources is almost the best
way that can provide short and mid-term revenue and move Afghanistan toward self-dependency.
Professionalism, commitment and experience play a fundamental role in getting proper and sustainable
results from these steps. This point is the main philosophy of Afghanite Company establishment.
Afghanite Company consists of Afghan specialists not only have high level of education but also have
a long time experience in different practical activities all around Afghanistan in field of Geo
engineering, Construction and Mining.
Afghanite Company successfully has gathered almost the best local experts in various related fields
mentioned above, in order to form a unique core work team. This team which is supported by internal
investment is capable of technical services and consultancy in highest possible level in Afghanistan
and soon will be in the region.
Afghanite Company established the relation and co-operation on technical consultancy and support
with credible international companies in order to synchronize its services with the most recent
technical innovations and development in the world. Afghanite Companys priority is using well-
known brands of Lab. and field equipment for providing accurate data and services.

increase productivity and profits, and enhance the environment where people work. Afghanite main goal is to align with the client interests and
needs supporting the improvements of afghan society. This will enhance equitable relationship with our local and international customers. Our
purpose is to create long-term shareholder value through the Services, discovery, Acquisition, development and marketing of mines and natural
resources. Our strategy is to own and operate long-life, low-cost, expandable, upstream and sustainable business across Afghanistan.
Mining operations are highly complex and represent significant investments of energy, labor, and capital. In order for these investments to be
successful they rely on highly accurate and timely information of what is in the ground, where, and in what quantity. Mine operators also have to
comply with many stringent environmental and safety regulations continuously during their day-to-day operations.
Afghanite Services will improve efficiency; reduce costs, and increase productivity and profits. Increasing production and operational excellence
through innovative techniques & technologies are our main focus of our business.
That is the bottom line. Whatever you mine or wherever you are across Afghanistan, Afghanite brings a wealth of expertise to your mine. We
