Ngokombiko wezindaba wangomhla ziyisi-8 kuNovemba 2021, i-United States Geological Survey (USGS) ibuyekeze izinhlobo zamaminerali ngokoMthetho Wezamandla ka-2020, ezaqokwa njengezimbiwa ezibalulekile ngo-2018. Ohlwini olusanda kushicilelwa, okulandelayo okungu-50 izinhlobo ze-ore ziyahlongozwa (ngokulandelana kwezinhlamvu).
I-Aluminium, i-antimony, i-arsenic, i-barite, i-beryllium, i-bismuth, i-cerium, i-cesium, i-chromium, i-cobalt, i-chromium, i-erbium, i-europium, i-fluorite, i-gadolinium, i-gallium, i-germanium, i-graphite, i-hafnium, i-holmium, i-rudium, i-lithium, i-lithium i-magnesium, manganese, neodymium, nickel, niobium, palladium, platinum, praseodymium, rhodium, rubidium, lutetium, samarium, scandium, tantalum, tellurium, terbium, thulium, tin, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, ytterbium, zincythuli, zincythuli.
KuMthetho Wamandla, amaminerali abalulekile achazwa njengamaminerali angewona amafutha noma izinto ezimbiwa phansi ezibalulekile emnothweni wase-US noma ukuphepha.Zithathwa njengezintambo ezintekenteke, uMnyango Wezangaphakathi kufanele ubuyekeze isimo okungenani njalo ngemva kweminyaka emithathu ngokusekelwe endleleni entsha yoMthetho Wamandla.I-USGS icela ukuphawula komphakathi phakathi noNovemba 9-Disemba 9, 2021.
