There biggest natural resource would have been fertile soil and water from the Tigris and Euphrates. They were famous for the clay tablets that contained the cuneiform writing. They would have had access to copper and even bronze latter on.

The bronze age started while Sumer was still a major power.
"They were also one of the first Bronze age people in the world. Early on they used copper, bronze and gold, and later they used iron. Palaces were decorated with hundreds of kilograms of these very expensive metals. Also, copper, bronze, and iron were used for armor as well as for different weapons such as swords, daggers, spears, and maces."
