Real grateful blokes, these Afghanis, eh.

I have little doubt that it is there. My 1st time there in 2004 there was already talk of how rich the area is in Copper and Lithium. I was just surprised to learn that we had been mining it for the last decade at a profit of $1-2 Trillion Dollars.

FWIW, I hope the Chinese buy up all the mineral rights. Let them worry about securing such sites. These folks are so backwards that they attack NGOs that are just there to try to bring them drinkable water.
