Useful Information About Moroccan Minerals And Fossils

By Amanda Brown


It is a new Africa. It is an Africa where development happens at the speed of light. To see all the development in action, one has to visit Morocco and witness the power of Moroccan minerals and fossils. Without these, Morocco could have been another poor, third world country mainly because it does not have fertile lands like African countries like Ethiopia, Kenya, Zimbabwe and South Africa. In simple language, mining is the lifeline of the economy. It is the chief export of the country. Proceeds are being used to develop the infrastructure and other sectors of the economy.

A lot of jobs are being created in the mining sector. There are many engineering jobs to the extent that the supply of jobs exceeds the number of available job seekers. That has made companies in Morocco to import workers from other African countries. Therefore, Morocco is not the only country benefiting. Other African nations are also benefiting from Morocco minerals.

Because of many citizens of Morocco being gainfully employed, there is a very high standard of living. Living under a dollar a day is longer the case in this beautiful North African nation. In fact, there are citizens who are living a lifestyle of pomp and pleasure. Every day, many luxury goods from different western countries usually enter Morocco.

The development of mining sector has led to the development of supporting industries. In the national and international economy, no industry exists alone. Therefore, when one industry develops, the others develop as well. When there is failure in one sector, there will be a domino effect all across the board. That is how economics works in the world.

The real estate market of Morocco is constantly rising. The expatriates who are coming to work in the mines need high quality housing. That has led to a high demand of suburban housing. Mine workers also require accommodation. Most of them choose to live in apartments. Some people like to purchase houses while others prefer the option of renting housing.

The banks and the insurance companies have also benefited from the mineral wealth. The process of exploring and extracting minerals is capital intensive. It requires investments worth millions of dollars. No company can afford to raise capital all by itself. There will be the need to list shares on the stock exchange or to take a loan from a bank.

Morocco is not only the land of minerals. It also has a fair share of fossils. Long before people settled in Europe and America, there were humans and animals in Morocco. That is why prehistoric fossils are being unearthed almost on a monthly basis. Morocco and the areas around it are places of great archaeological interest. They are tourist attractions.

Africa is rising. The next big thing is Africa. It is not only about Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa. Morocco is also on top of the list due to its mineral wealth. This nation has a good business climate. It is also politically stable. These two conditions create the perfect environment for mining. It is very easy and safe to invest in Moroccan companies.
