The mineral resource barrier for the above metals is exasperated by an alarmingly uneven distribution of critical metals and minerals. Mining for the required metals is centralized in many politically unstable countries such as South Africa, Brazil, Indonesia, Argentina, Chile, and the Congo, while metal refining and processing is dominated by China.
