strategic minerals
Minerals essential to the national defense, for the supply of which, during war, we are wholly or in part dependent on foreign sources, and for which strict measures controlling conservation and distribution are necessary. For example, chromium- and tin-bearing minerals, quartz crystal, and sheet mica were some of the "strategic minerals" during World War II.
