In the framework of strategic local mineral processing in Indonesia based on low cost and zero-waste technology, it is necessary to collaborate with all parties, including government, industries, researchers, and universities, as well as harmonizing upstream-downstream mineral and coal policies. The development of mineral and coal processing technology needs to be focused on exploiting the added value and characteristics of each mineral resources.

Various parties in Indonesia, both government, industries, and educational institutions have the awareness to initiate exploration of critical elements and have succeeded in identifying the existence of new REE resources, but it has not been recognized as reserves due to constraints on low concentration and tonnage. As one of the solutions, the exploration of critical elements must be carried out more systematically with a more detailed evaluation. Characterization is one of the most important processes that will influence the extraction process, so that total extraction can be achieved which will add the economic value of exploiting critical elements.
