Abstract: Globalization, growth in consumption levels and emerging economies such as China and India has led to increasing concerns about the availability of specific mineral raw materials. These resources are finite and rapidly depleting; in the meantime, demand continues to increase. This results in the overall increase in the value of mineral raw material and in the subsequent dramatic price spikes and fluctuations. Therefore, resource security is now a priority for governments of developed countries.
