Abstract: This Brief attempts to examine Japan's rare metal policy since the mid-2000s and recent supply chain policies for critical minerals, and analyze comparative supply chain risks between Korea and Japan by critical mineral resources to derive policy implications for the Korean government. Section Ⅱ outlines the Japanese government's various rare metal resource policies and achievements since the mid-2000s and examines the Japanese government's recent supply chain support policies for critical minerals. Section Ⅲ summarizes the results of the supply chain risk analysis of the five battery mineral resources and rare earths in Korea and Japan. Section Ⅳ concludes by presenting several cooperation agendas for mineral resource cooperation between Korea and Japan based on the analysis results presented.
