What is minor metal?
Minor metas are mineral elements which are difficult to come by since their costwise reason in mining and smelting as well as technical difficulties to extract the elements from the raw materials.
Therefore, the metals come with very limited supply and use in the related industries out of their scarce value. Some consider the metals are critical materials which support Japan`s manufacturing industry.Because of their unique properties, the materials are built in a variety of industrial products from electronic devices like smartphones, electronic components, rechargeable batteries to motor vehicles and aircrafts. However, many of them predominantly exist in particular countries or regions, causing a high risk of price volatility. For these reasons, the industries require diversified routes to secure stable supplies and the development of advanced recycling technology.
