There are many types of mineral resources, but coal, iron, and oil are the most important.

Russia, the United States, Austria, India, Canada, and Mexico have high reserves of iron ore;

The distribution of oil is very concentrated, mainly in the Middle East, Russia, America, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.

Franz still remembers these words from his geography class in his previous life. In summary, Europe is lacking in minerals.
