Kapitel 26: Chapter 26: The Three-Year Plan for Industry

Australia is known as a country sitting on a mine cart, and although some of the famous large-scale mineral deposits in Australia have not been discovered yet, it is already a country rich in mineral resources based on the known deposits.

As for the indispensable iron ore and coal mines for industrial development, several have been discovered in the uninhabited areas of western Australia, with total reserves reaching 360 million tons and 1.9 billion tons respectively.

Perhaps these two numbers seem huge at first glance, but compared to Australia's later discovered iron ore reserves of 150 billion tons and 900 billion tons, these numbers are just a fraction of the total.

But when compared to other countries of this time, Australia's already discovered mineral resources are already quite substantial.

Even considering the current steel production of the British Empire, Australia's iron ore alone would be enough to supply the United Kingdom for thirteen years.
