Sources and interpretation
Application groupings are illustrative selections, not complete bills of materials. Mineral application descriptions follow the Ministry of Mines June 2023 report, Annexure II. REE and PGE are groups; graphite is a form of carbon; potash is a commodity category. Data gaps are not proof of absent resources or capability. Application photographs and licences are listed in the image credits.
Patent and research counts overlap across institutions and stages. The time slider changes cumulative coverage, not a measured growth rate. Read the methodology.
