New Zealand is rich in minerals and has a wide distribution of minerals and energy development industries. North Island has quartz sand, clay, iron sand, perlite, sulfur, oil and other mineral resources, as well as geothermal and hydropower resources for development and utilization of the South Island ilmenite, gold, coal, limestone, silica and other mineral resources.
