The Hajigak iron ore deposit is situated in the mountainous Bamyan province, 130 km. west of the Afghanistan capital of Kabul. It is one of several large iron deposits within Afghanistan, and is the largest unmined iron deposit in Asia both in terms of quantity and quality. A study in the 1960's demonstrated the mineral potential of the region, and estimated the Hajigak resource as 1.8 billion tonnes of iron ore with a concentration of approximately 64 % Fe. The presence of coking coal nearby at Shabashak, and the worldclass ranking of the iron ore resource combine to make the Hajigak deposit an exceptionally favorable target for economic development.
