Antarctica is known to have deposits of various minerals, including coal, hydrocarbons, iron ore, platinum, copper, chromium, nickel, and gold.
However, these resources are not present in economically viable quantities, meaning they cannot be extracted on a large scale due to technical and economic challenges.
The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty restricts the exploitation of these resources for environmental conservation purposes.
