They range from commodities that are the principal mined product to recovery as by-products during processing of other metallic ores. Identification of domestic sources of critical minerals requires thorough examination of numerous mineral systems and deposits types, and quantification of potentially recoverable critical minerals in mined deposits. The Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI) requires information on areas with high critical mineral potential to prioritize areas for geophysical surveys and geological mapping. A systems approach for defining Earth MRI focus areas must be developed that relates critical minerals to the deposit types and mineral systems they occur in."
