Accepted Answer

Botswana is one of the largest producers of diamond, and its 30 percent gross domestic product and 80 percent of exports depend on the gem. Recently, the second-largest diamond in the world has been uncovered in a mine in Botswana which is rough 2,492-carat stone by Canadian firm Lucara Diamond. Major lithium reserves are concentrated in South America’s ‘Lithium Triangle’—encompassing parts of Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile. Chile is a key target as it is the world's biggest supplier of copper and the second- biggest producer of lithium, which are essential for electric vehicle batteries and renewable energy systems in the push away from fossil fuels. As part of India's drive to explore overseas for mineral assets, state firms National Aluminium Company, Hindustan Copper and unlisted Mineral Exploration and Consultancy have set up a company called Khanij Bidesh India (KABIL). Indonesia is home to the world’s largest nickel reserves, accounting for nearly 30 per cent of the global supply and is the world’s largest producer of nickel.
