Edit. Ok I just looked at the map, the Dagon shaped continent wasn't as far north as I assumed, but the lack of resources theory still holds. Eh, it holds on very fragile ground.

For starters, the size, like Jaric mentioned. It's bigger than Solitas, and roughly as big as Vacuo's side of Sanus. That continent as a whole, lacking resources? That would be bullshit.

And it isn't a Discount Antartica like Solitas or even a desert like Vacuo, one can easily see that much on the map, so when it comes to basic resources, it beats both of them in that regard.

The only questions, are Dust-related, but even then:

-Regarding amount of Dust: 1) A cold wasteland like Solitas, and a semi-empty desert like Vacuo, both were pretty rich in Dust, at least initially. The chances of the Dragon continent not having much Dust are pretty low.

2) Even if the Dragon continent did not have much Dust, there's the facts that Dust is practically everywhere, and still in very high amounts despite it being used for almost everything around the world. So "It is lacking in Dust" would not be something literal, only comparative.

-Regarding distribution of Dust: This is a better question. It's one thing that the Dragon continent has resources, it's another how they are spread out.

Hypothetically-speaking, the Dust mines on the lower section of the continent could've been muuuuch smaller than the ones at the top half, where most of the continent's Dust is located.

Then the question turns into how accessible those mines are. There might be too many powerful Grimm in that area, if only due to no one going there and reducing their numbers.
