It is a described primarily as a hot country with temperatures up to +45° C in the shade at certain moments of the year, especially in the hottest months of June and July.
Uranium is Mas’s largest mineral export. The country is ranked fifth in Uranium production globally.
Minerals that Mas has in abundance include gold, iron ore, sulphates and a raft of other minerals that are untapped.
As of the year 2003, the country had crude oil reserves of close to 300 million barrels of fuel. Because of lack of refining capacity, however, the country has to rely on imports for refined petroleum.
