Model Answer
- South Africa holds the world's largest reported reserves of gold, platinum group metals, chrome ore and manganese ore, and the second-largest reserves of zirconium, vanadium and titanium.
- Ontario is one of the leading producers of gold, copper, nickel and platinum group elements.
- The Caucasus region has many limestone formations, including, Racha limestone massif and Turchu limestone hollow.
- Algeria is one of the world's leading producers of phosphate, with large reserves and a number of phosphate mines. The Djebel Onk phosphate mining area has a history of over 50 years, and some parts of the land have been destroyed. This has had negative effects on the regional ecosystems, such as air pollution and the contamination of water, soil, fauna, and flora.
