The evaluation is a little bit silly.
Placing numbers on minerals that represent a total of printed pieces of paper that were created from nothingness has no meaning.
Never ever forget that money comes from nothingness. Central banks create it via QE and they do so with the wave of a hand and a few key presses on a terminal. It’s value is determined strictly by the imagination of counterparties.
Oil value is determined by the quantity of joules. Those are not created from nothingness by the whimsical waving of a hand over a keyboard.
We’ve got the extraction technology plus the military subsidies to protect our investment. Not a good strategy unless the host country pays for their protection. Guyana comes to mind as the threat is there but minor if we’re there. With all this stuff around the world why did England fight over the Falklands?
No mention of what’s in Greenland.
Our military can’t do much in countries that are unstable.
