I will only highlight some minerals and leave you to calculate their value, which exceeds Saudi Arabia’s wealth, which is estimated at $1.3 trillion in minerals.
Egypt is called in the Qur’an the treasures of God on earth, meaning the richest country in the world, but here we are ruled by the biggest thieves on earth who would bankrupt a galaxy if they ruled it.
I will give simple examples of Egypt's mining wealth

ووجه رئيس الوزراء باستكمال المفاوضات مع الشركات المحلية والعالمية المهتمة بالعمل في استخراج خام التنتالوم، تمهيدا للاتفاق على أفضل سبل استغلاله.
ويوجد أكبر احتياطيات التنتالوم في مصر بمنجم أبو دباب، الذي يقع في الجزء الشرقي وتحديدا في محافظة البحر الأحمر، وتقدر احتياطياته بنحو 39.9 مليون طن من الدرجات الخام 0.025٪ التنتالوم.
ويعتبر منجم التنتالم بمنطقة أبو دباب الثالث على مستوى العالم من حيث الاحتياطي.
ويستخدم 50 % من إنتاج التنتالوم في صناعة 25% من مكونات الطائرات النفاثة، بالإضافة لإنعاش وتعزيز صناعة الدوائر الإلكترونية والكهربائية الدقيقة وأجهزة المحمول واللاب توب، وتصنيع الشرائح التعويضية التي يتم تركيبها في عظام الإنسان نظرا لعدم تفاعله مع الجسم.
كما أن استخدامه في المكونات الطبية الدقيقة والمفاصل الصناعية المتطورة، وصناعة شفرات الحفر وأجهزة قطع الجرانيت.

Egypt has a large wealth of black sand, amounting to approximately 5 billion tons, and its material value is estimated at approximately 16 trillion dollars.
Two days ago, Egypt announced the opening of the black sand factory in the city of Burullus in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, which is the most modern of its kind in the world using mining technology, as part of national projects that aim to benefit from Egypt’s natural resources and achieve added value from the minerals extracted from black sand.
Black sand is gaining economic importance, as it contains a high percentage of heavy metals that are used in strategic industries.
Dr. Hamed Mira, head of the Nuclear Materials Authority in Egypt, said that the country possesses about 5 billion tons of black sand, sufficient for a period of up to 200 years, according to the areas discovered so far.
He added in statements to Al-Ain News that the price of a ton varies from one metal to another, and may reach $3,200 per ton, while for some other metals it is higher than that.
He explained that the revenues from value-added projects in the Burullus project alone, which was opened a few days ago, could reach $6 billion.
Black sand
Black sand represents heavy beach sediments that accumulate on beaches near river mouths. They are concentrated by beach currents on the load that rivers pour into the sea. They consist of heavy minerals, especially magnetite and ilite, and are exploited as iron ores. The most important countries exploited by India, Brazil and Egypt.
What are the types of black sand in Egypt?
There is dark-colored sand filled with heavy metals at a rate between 70% and 90%, and a gray type that contains up to 40% of heavy metals.
According to studies conducted in Egypt on black sand, Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate has more than 250 million tons of black sand, in addition to a reserve equivalent to 200 billion cubic meters, which makes Egypt the largest reserve of black sand in the world.
The opening of the black sand factory came in response to the mandates of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to maximize the added value of minerals extracted from sand, which he confirmed during a previous speech at the end of last year that it would bring the greatest economic and investment benefit to the country.
Where is black sand found in Egypt?
According to government data, Egypt has 11 sites rich in black sand, and after its separation, the sand turns into strategic products that are used in 41 important industries.
Black sand is found on the northern coasts in high concentration, starting from Rashid to Al-Arish, with a length of 400 km, north of Idku, Beheira Governorate, then it is distributed in 4 regions of North Sinai with 200 million cubic metres, Damietta 300 million cubic metres, Rashid 600 million cubic metres, and Baltim 200 million. Cubic meters.
Minerals extracted from black sand are used in the manufacture of aircraft structures, missiles, spacecraft, dyes, paper, leather, ceramics, dental implants, concrete, sponge iron, grinding stones, sandpaper, water filters, smart phones, and electric cars.
Black sand factory details
Egypt contracted to buy the Dutch dredger Tahya Misr, which arrived last August 5 at the Burullus port, in preparation for dismantling it and transporting it to the black sand factory in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, on an area of 80 acres.
The Black Sands Project in Egypt involves Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, the National Service Projects Authority, the Nuclear Materials Authority, and the National Investment Bank, with investments estimated at about $24 million.
According to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Egyptian Black Sand Company, Major General Magdy Al-Taweel, “The most important minerals in the black sand are ilmenite, zircon, garnet, rutile, monazite, and magnetite.”
He added to the official Middle East News Agency in Egypt that the production capacity of the ilmenite factory amounts to 298 thousand tons per year, while it reaches 25 thousand tons per year for the “zircon” factory, the “garnet” factory about 12 thousand tons per year, and the “rutile” factory about 11 thousand tons per year. tons per year, and the monazite factory produces about 145 tons per year.
Hamed Mira, head of the Nuclear Materials Authority in Egypt, said that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi invited the private sector to participate in the black sand project, especially since feasibility studies confirmed the existence of significant economic returns from projects that are linked to about 41 other strategic industries, in addition to the fact that it helps push Economy, growth rates and community development.
He added during television statements that the returns from black sand projects will be achieved within two years of starting, and it is a globally recognized project.
For his part, economic expert Khaled Al-Shafi’i commented, saying that the black sand complex in Egypt would attract local and foreign investors, in addition to being an opportunity to attract billions of dollars to Egypt, especially with the high levels of strategic black sand reserves in Egypt, according to what was announced.
