Oyashima is rich in mineral and geothermal resources. It has some of the largest deposits of gold, nickel, copper, silver, palladium, and chromite. Oyashima also has considerable silver, coal, gypsum, clay, limestone, marble, silica, and phosphate, and sulfur deposits which are actively mined. The country has harnessed the power of its geothermal resources to become a leader in clean energy production in [[Audonia]]. With a capacity of 7,928 megawatts, geothermal sources contribute a substantial 7.55% of the nation's total electricity generation. This not only reduces dependence on fossil fuels but also positions Oyashima as a champion for environmental sustainability in the most polluting continent on the planet. Oyashima's mining and mineral extraction sector plays a crucial role in the nation's economic development. It represents 4.3% of the GDP. The industry generates significant revenue, fosters job creation, and contributes to the advancement of various sectors that rely on these resources. It is generally considered a {{wp|Japanese|Mutsotorine}} venture with very few {{wp|Ainu|Oyash}} people engaging in the mining sector. | |||
