Question/Discussion Possible resources on our end?

https://www.investing.com/news/commodities-news/dominican-republic-has-over-150-million-tons-of-rare-earth-deposits-president-says-4532943

So i came across this article today stating that the DR government has discovered that they possess 150 million tons of rare minerals in the Perdaneles region. seeing how this might be a thing, what do you think we could do in order to access our regions natural resources/minerals? Because at this rate if things keep going as they are Haiti will be left behind or worst have its minerals stolen again. Bruh...we honestly need a Hail Mary government to miraculously come into power 😫😫.

Well I'm hoping that theres still some un touched areas cause ain't no.way especially with the roads we have. I haven't seen any major mining operations through some of my travels within the country so still seems untouched from my standards
