What are Suriname's non-renewable resources?

Answer 1

Fish, forests, hydroelectric potential, minerals, and shrimp are the main Natural Resources of Suriname. The mining of bauxite dominates the country's economy. Suriname has sizeable oil and gold reserves. Other minerals include copper, iron ore, kaolin, and platinum.

Answer 2

Minerals are Suriname's non-renewable resources.

Specifically, non-renewable resources have a shelf life. The description fits Suriname's rich mineral deposits of bauxite and gold. It also applies to such other Surinamese mineral resources as iron ore, kaolin and platinum.

Answer 3

Wood, wildlife, water and vegetation are Suriname's non-mined natural resources.

Specifically, a vast rain forest claims at least ninety percent (90%) of Suriname's total area. It is largely undeveloped and therefore constitutes a potentially huge revenue source through ecotourism or logging. The rain forest gives shelter and nourishment to many of the country's 180+ species of mammals and 700+ species of birds. Galibi Beach in Suriname's northern coastal zone has the additional attraction of being a location to which sea turtles travel from all over the world to lay their eggs and of being one of many locations along Suriname's northern coastal boundary with access to vast marine resources. Additionally, the rain forest also lays claims to many of Suriname's water bodies, which range from creeks to reservoirs, rivers and waterfalls. It therefore protects a potentially huge revenue source through hydroelectric power for export to the country's neighbors.
