There has always been heated debate around the subject of Antarctica as a mineral resource. While the exploitation of mineral resources in Antarctica is prohibited by the Antarctic Treaty with 54 states party so far, governmental bodies of leading countries are spending huge resources on performing research there.

Most of the worlds mineral resources come from these cratonic units and thus it is reasonable to expect that the Antarctic shield has the same mineral resource potential as other parts of the globe. However there are some features of Antarctica that dramatically reduce the chance of mineral.

It is surprisingly difficult to write anything new about the mineral potential of Antarctica. What follows is a revised and updated version of the authors contribution to the 1986 David Davies Memorial Institute of International Studies working group on Antarctica, chaired by Sir Anthony Parsons published as Antarctica The Next Decade, Parsons, 1987, q.v., permission to quote.

There are deposits of minerals such as coal and iron ore in Antarctica, but there are vast economic and technical difficulties associated with the recovery of mineral deposits. The Antarctic ice cover is, on average, 2.5km thick and this means that very little of the land is accessible for exploration, so work would have to take place under the.

2020-8-25Mineral resources are non-renewable and include metals e.g. iron, copper, and aluminum, and non-metals e.g. salt, gypsum, clay, sand, phosphates. Minerals are valuable natural resources being finite and non-renewable. They constitute the vital raw materials for many basic industries and are a major resource for development.

The Convention on the Regulation of Antarctic Mineral Resource Activities. When speaking about the lawfulness of mining activities in Antarctica, the Convention on the Regulation of Antarctic Mineral Resource Activities is a treaty that is part of the Antarctic Treaty System. The convention was concluded at Wellington on June 1988.

Antarctica is at present governed by the Antarctic Treaty, which went into effect on June 23, 1961. In June 1988, the Consultative Parties of the Antarctic Treaty CPAT adopted the Antarctic Mineral Resource Regime governing the exploration, development and production of Antarctic minerals.

2006-1-22BACKGROUND Mineral resource recovery in Antarctica is different than it is in the rest of the world because of the special conditions that exist in Antarctica. The first problem is that the amount of daylight in Antarctica is not the same year round. In the summer they have 24 hours of daylight and in the winter they have 24 hours of night.

Petroleum, thus, is the resource for which Antarctica is mostly exploited. It has very less scope for development since far more accessible areas are available all around the world. Until 1991, an agreement by the United States and other Antarctic Treaty nations allowed for commercial exploration of resources but now that is not allowed either.
