Minerals are important for every country for its development and they need to be conserve because : 

1. Minerals are non-renewable resources which once used can’t be obtained again as it takes thousands of years to form. 

2. Workable minerals are in insufficient quantities (just 1 % of the earth’s crust) 

3. We are rapidly consuming mineral resources that requires millions of years to be renewed. 

4. Industry and agriculture depend upon minerals and the substances manufacture from them.
