The concept of such type of minerals were proposed in this report may include energy minerals, metallic minerals, and non-metal mineral resources. Strategic mineral resources signify that mineral resources are critical to the country's economic, national defense, and strategic emerging industry development. Besides, they may be also controlled influentially over production and trade by China, or be shortage in China with major security risks. Based on the important role of China's non-metallic mineral resources in national economic security, national defense security, and the development of strategic emerging industries, and with the support capabilities and characteristics of mineral resources, 15 types of non-metallic mineral resources were suggested to be listed on the "Strategic Non-metallic Mineral Resources" which include phosphate minerals, potassium salt, fluorite, graphite, quartz, kaolin, pyrophyllite, bentonite, attapulgite, sepiolite, diatomite, barite, boron ore, lithium-rich minerals, zircon, etc. This suggestion was proposed according to previous research, present situation of our country, and useful discussions with domestic peer experts. We wish to draw attention of the management departments of China as well as persons concerned in this field.
