The Richest Countries In The World In Metal Minerals by Nobody: 5:38am On Nov 19, 2013
The most resource-rich country in the world is... probably Saudi Arabia.
But oil isn't the only valuable resource. A Citi report lists the richest countries in terms of metals and ore.
Investors should look for countries where.production is relatively low and the resource lifetime is long.
