Geothermal Natural Resources is relating to the internal heat of the earth. Natural resources is a material source of wealth, such as timber, fresh water, or a mineral deposit, that occurs in a natural state and has economic value.\nVolcano's are opening in the earth's crust through which molten lava, ash, and gases are ejected.  And similar opening are on the surface of other planets.   Mountains are formed by the materials ejected from a volcano.,trees and plants grow on the mountain. Coal in formed a natural dark brown to black graphitelike material used as a fuel, formed from fossilized plants and consisting of amorphous carbon with various organic and some inorganic compounds. Natural Gas the state of matter distinguished from the solid and liquid states by relatively low density and viscosity, relatively great expansion and contraction with changes in pressure and temperature, the ability to diffuse readily, and the spontaneous tendency to become distributed uniformly throughout any container.

Iraq is not a very mountainous region, and given that it's the oldest inhabited country in the world (Babylon and Sumeria) it's possible that most of the easily obtained natural resources have been used by the centuries of civilizations.\n\nThat was my opinion, now for the facts from the CIA World Factbook:\nIraq, Natural resources: petroleum, natural gas, phosphates, sulfur\n\nAlthough the CIA are scumsucking bastards, the World Factbook is a good resource published annually and can be downloaded for free from their website.

Look on these sites, there is information about resources. They have negligible mineral resources, and fish from what I hear.

Seems that you want to look for the "New Almaden Mines"...One of the sites below has directions to the trail head.  I can't find anything that indicates there are any actual mine tours in the area.\n\nBTW, thanks for the question...I learned something today about the area I live in!  I can't wait for the sun to come out so that I can take the hike!

The USGS publishes topographical maps with all mining claims shown.  It takes a lot of them to cover the whole state.
