Extractives Technical Assistance (pdf - 201k)
The primary objective of the Extractive Technical Assistance Activity is to compile and analyze U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data on the deposit type, infrastructure, resources, and current commodity value of Afghanistan’s mineral resources to inform new mining contracts and awards.
The USGS will assess the commercial viability of Afghanistan's mineral resources through capacity building within the Afghanistan Geological Survey (AGS) and the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum (MoMP). The project will determine where Afghanistan’s data collection systems need to be improved to provide accurate and comprehensive information concerning the country’s mineral resources and existing infrastructure capable of supporting current and potential mining operations.
