While each country has slightly different lists and definitions of critical minerals, typically they are substances which have no substitute, are limited in supply, economically important, and increasingly concentrated in both extraction and processing.Russia is among the three biggest sources of palladium, scandium and titanium, produces one-tenth of the world’s nickel, and six per cent of its aluminum.
Hypocrite.
Why is it you all can’t just live and let live.. let go of the hate and jealousy and show love honesty and respect to each other.
