Venezuela and its mineral wealth
Hello everyone I'm back to steemit, I spent some vacation time but it is time to "work" haha
Today I will continue talking about Venezuela, a country rich in minerals but poor in Rulers ...
Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world, 30 times higher than Saudi Arabia itself, at the same time detailed studies confirmed the existence of the second largest gas reserve in the world. Venezuela is positioned as the second country with the largest reserves of fresh water in the world, in addition to having the largest coral reef in the Caribbean.
Venezuela is consolidated as the country of Latin America that maintains the large and stable gold reserves in the continent, has at least 403.1 tons of gold ranking the number 15 worldwide.
But this does not end here, the discoveries are not stopped, studies and scientific research have already pointed out in a worrying way that Venezuela may also have the largest Coltan reserve in the planet, better known as Blue Gold or mineral of death whose value could surpass the value of gold because it is indispensable for the development of present and future technology.
Despite being a country richer in natural resources, it has remained submerged in internal conflicts that have impeded its development during the last 150 years.
Venezuela is currently in the first place among the most violent and insecure countries in the world with a rate between 82 and 120 homicides per 100 thousand inhabitants.
If you have the opportunity to get to know Venezuela, try to forget for a moment the political and social problems of the country, and focus on all that it has to offer.
