On the islands of Fiji are deposits of copper, gold, lead, zinc and several other metals.
Nevertheless, due to the unprofitability of their development, only metals are mined in the country at present. gold and the accompanying silver. Gold has been mined and exported from the country since 1933. In addition, among other mineral resources, boot and piece stone, phosphates, sand, gravel and cement raw materials stand out (the only country in the country is located in Suva Portland cement factory)[19]. The main components of local cement are carbonate (coral) and siliceous sand, which are mined in the coastal zone (carbonate sand - in Lautala Bay, and along the coast west of Suva; siliceous sand - in the mouth of the Vunidava River, which flows into Lautala Bay) [18] . Phosphorite deposits are located on the Lau Islands, primarily on the island of Tuvuta [18].

In addition to the mineral deposits available in the Fiji Islands, high probability of oil presence in the coastal areas of the country. As you know, the archipelago is part of the Southwest Pacific island-arc system, which is the border between the Australian and Pacific lithospheric plates. Within the territorial waters of Fiji, there are two shallow-water sedimentary basins of the Tertiary period, which have great potential for finding them the territory of large oil fields, the volume of which is estimated at 5,4 — 20 billion barrels.
I'm quite happy with gold

From the word "nothing".
When the cost of storage, disposal, etc. proudly more expensive than giving it to someone.

In the light of the latest news about the adoption of new weapons, the state finds use in storage, with subsequent benefits for itself. The stocks of new samples will increase, while the old ones will slowly be sold or transferred in this way.

In accuracy and range of aimed fire, the M-16 is superior to AK. The main feature of Kalashnikov is indestructibility. M-16 is too tender. It must be worn in cellophane. Kalash - borsch was stirred, barbecue on the barrel was fried, rinsed in a puddle and - shoot until the forearm is ignited.

According to the military balance, the Fiji army is 3200 plus 300 in the navy. There is no air force, so our helicopter will be the basis of a new type of armed forces. They have no armored vehicles, from the artillery there are 12 Mortars of 81 mm, and 4 cannons used for ceremonial purposes, apparently English 25 pounds (so marked). There are 5 patrol boats in the navy. The ground forces include 1 company of special forces, 3 infantry battalions, 1 combat engineer battalion, and an MTO battalion. That’s basically it.
