Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -With few exceptions, Japan’s mineral reserves are small, and the quality of those mined is often poor. Coal, iron ore, zinc, lead, copper, sulfur, gold, and silver are among the most abundant minerals (in relative terms), with lesser quantities of tungsten, chromite, and manganese.

Detailed explanation-2: -The amount of land in Japan suitable for agriculture is insufficient to produce enough food for Japan’s large population. As a result, Japan imports most of its food from other countries. Japan lacks many raw materials needed for industry and energy, such as oil, coal, iron ore, copper, aluminum and wood.

Detailed explanation-3: -Japan is a country with few natural resources, and it has no basic metals and nor critical minerals mines. Japan’s only operating mines are gold mines.
