I think with Afghanistan turning out to be the "Saudi Arabia of lithium" that the Chinese will end up sorting things out in the long run there as they already have interests in the country and it is on their back doorstep. They have a more serious approach to dealing with Muslim populations as well.

I wonder why this find was announced NOW? Obviously, one doesn't just dig a hole in a day or two, and suddenly find over a Trillion Dollars worth of mineral deposits..... How long has the digging been going on, and by whom? And again, why announce it now?

Like everything else of import, this will definitely have a "story behind the story".....

The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan
