Natural Resources of the Dominican Republic:

1. Natural Resources of the Dominican Republic Natural resources are the natural elements found in nature without having been altered by man. Natural resources in the development and welfare of a society; Both directly and indirectly. 2. Natural resources are classified according to their durability. These can be both renewable and non-renewable. Although it is also said that there is a classification called "inexhaustible". 3. Natural resources can be seen by industrial waste. Since the industries of toxic waste in lakes, rivers, more cause death of maritime beings and damage to the natural resource, water. 4. Classification and types Natural resources are classified according to their durability. This classification consists of two large groups: 1- Renewable resources 2- Non-renewable resources. 5. Renewable resources. Water Flora The fauna There are also sources of energy, that is, those phenomena capable of providing energy in any of its forms. These can be called energy resources. Within renewable natural resources there is a classification for perpetual resources, so you can see its content. 6. Non-renewable natural resources. In this classification is: -Oil-Mineral Minerals The economic value will depend on its scarcity and of course on its demand. For example, oil

7. There are nickel, bauxite, gold, amber, natural gas, silver, titanium, petroleum, copper, iron, salt, gypsum mines in the country. Larimar is also exploited, a blue pectolite found only in the Dominican Republic and used in jewelry. Some of these are still not exploited by international pressure, such as oil. 8.

MINING EXPLOITATION The Great Mining of the Dominican Republic is represented by foreign companies, the Alcoa in the exploitation of bauxite, Falconbridge in the ferronickel, and the Rosario Dominican in the exploitation of gold and silver. In its entirety, the production of these minerals is destined for export, with exploitation concentrated in the extraction phases. The exploitation of these deposits is carried out in an artisanal way, through underground mining works (wells and sinkholes). The miners involved in these operations are grouped into cooperatives, which have been assisted with technical advice and mechanical equipment by the current management of the General Mining Department. Gold in the beds and terraces of the country's rivers has been the only mineral resource exploited in pre-Columbian times. Although the source of this metal is not yet well determined, it is believed that it is the metamorphic rocks of the Cretaceous age that supply the gold to the watercourses that drain to the northwest and south of some mountain ranges.  the exploitation of salt and gypsum since 1962 passed into the hands of the Dominican State (CORDE Group).
