The term “critical minerals” (CMs) refers to a distinct category of commodities, such as rare earths, critical earth minerals, and other non-fuel minerals or mineral materials that are of strategic importance to national economies and technical development and that have a high risk of being associated with supply disruptions. Consequently, the definition can vary over time and across countries. For example, in 2022, the U.S. Geological Survey added nickel and zinc while removing helium, potash, rhenium, and strontium to their list of critical minerals.
