 10 African countries with the most natural resources in terms of soil and subsoil wealth. Africa is made up of divergent and converging countries. When it comes to natural resources, the African continent has always been rich. For example, Africa is home to the majority of the world's mineral deposits, making room for more natural resource industries in the world. Some countries have been endowed with a wealth of natural resources since the beginning of time, and these countries are regarded as the richest in Africa.
