Mining in Japan

Mining in Japan is very minimal due to it's few minable resources, it is now the smallest sector of Japan's industrial-based economy.  Even though it's minimal and hard to extract the two main rocks mined in Japan are coal and Iron ore, they're also able to extract small amounts of nonferrous metals.  The country does have a large mineral processing sector of ferrous and nonferrous metals and industrial minerals.
