3 Countries with Gold

2. Iran has one of the largest petroleum reserves in the world. Just like Iraq, it also became a major exporter of crude oil. However, due to wars and sanctions, export revenue declined.

3. Kuwait is a tiny country that is <em>rich in oil.</em> It's largest industry is<em> "petroleum industry," </em>and it is owned by the government.

4. China is considered to be the<em> largest gold-producer in the world</em>. Although it only has a few gold reserves, many people are into <em>gold-mining.</em>

6. Australia is perceived to overtake China's position in the coming years as the largest producer of gold in the world. This is because of Australia's<em> cost-effective mining </em>and<u> plans for major expansion.</u>
