National Mineral Assessment Survey

Mineral Assessment Survey for the National Critical Minerals List

Prepared for the preliminary assessment of selected minerals in Malaysia.

We respectfully invite YBhg. Datuk/Dato’/Dr./Mr./Ms. to provide your views and input on selected minerals in Malaysia. This survey is intended to support the preliminary assessment process for identifying minerals that may be considered for inclusion in the National Critical Minerals List.

Your feedback may be based on your professional knowledge, technical experience, industry exposure, or the best available information. The information provided will assist in assessing the potential, mine life, domestic processing capability, and associated elements of each mineral.

Respondent information is used for reference and further clarification, where necessary. Please provide your assessment for each mineral by selecting the most appropriate answer for the four criteria listed. You may leave a mineral unanswered if you do not have sufficient information.
