TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - China has the world's largest reserves of 14 types of mineral resources, including rare earths, tungsten, tin, molybdenum, antimony, gallium, germanium, indium, fluorite, and graphite, according to the country's latest mineral resources data.
As reported by ANTARA, by 2025, the country will also rank first globally in the production of 17 types of mineral resources, including coal, vanadium, titanium, zinc, rare earths, tungsten, tin, molybdenum, antimony, gallium, indium, gold, and tellurium, according to China's Ministry of Natural Resources on Wednesday, April 29.
