The USA PLAN to ROB the world of Minerals. Minerals Security Partnership (MSP) to Map the world. Identify minerals for greater good.

Land robbing to ensure that critical minerals are produced, processed, and recycled in a manner that supports the ability of countries to realize the full economic development benefit of their geological endowments. 

Critical minerals are mineral resources that are essential to the economy and whose supply may be disrupted. The ‘criticality' of a mineral changes with time as supply and society's needs shift. 

A critical mineral is defined as one that has important uses and no viable substitutes, yet faces potential disruption in supply. Non-critical minerals, on the other hand, are those that do not meet these criteria and are not considered essential to the economy or national security, or do not have a vulnerable supply chain.
