“…Currently, India is import-dependent for seven out of 12 strategic minerals, including CEMs and does not have any declared resources for them (Randive & Jawadand, 2019). Most of these strategic minerals are used in the manufacturing of defence goods.…”

The role of clean-energy minerals (CEMs) in the modern non-carbon energy technology development is indispensable. The scarcity of CEM resources in India is a severe concern. Almost complete import dependence on CEM-producing countries makes India vulnerable to the supply risk that could arise due to various reasons. For example, for India to do business with countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and China could be challenging given the geopolitical issues India have with China and the internal political and economic crises DRC have within. Situations like this call for securing domestic CEM resources and strengthening the bilateral trade agreements with friendly nations. India needs to focus on investing heavily in the domestic exploration and acquiring overseas leases of CEMs. Research and development promotion are crucial to finding reliable substitutes for priority CEMs such as graphite, lithium and cobalt.

A mineral is an inorganic substance that occurs in nature with specific chemical content and an ordered atomic positioning. Minerals are identified by their physical properties. Minerals’ physical properties are related to their chemical composition and bonding. Quartz is extremely valuable economically. Valuable minerals and some examples of gemstones are citrine, amethyst, quartz with smoky texture and quartz of rose color can be said as rose quartz are some examples of gemstones. Sandstone, primarily composing quartz, is the most used building stone. Biotite has limited number of applications for commercial use. Deep learning is the subset of machine learning. It is based on self-learning and improvement through the examination of computer algorithms. TensorFlow library of machine learning combines a number of different algorithms and models which allows users to build deep neural networks for projects/model such as image recognition/classification and many more. Image Classification is the assignment of one label from a fixed set of categories to an input image. In this paper Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used primarily for image processing, classification, segmentation, and other auto-correlated data. This paper will explain the techniques and explanation for classifying minerals images using a deep learning algorithm called a convolutional neural network. Identifying minerals on a field is a tedious activity and requires a lot of information and conformation here with the help of deep learning algorithms we made a deep learning model which has all its feature already embedded in it that can be used to classify minerals with a reasonable accuracy furthermore in future it can be made more accurate and fit accordingly to the conditions.

“…The rapid advancement of technological innovation has led to a substantial increase in the demand for CHTMs ( Nassar et al, 2020 , Randive and Jawadand, 2019 ). The Indian economy has been growing rapidly at an annual rate of 7.1% in the past decade, which positions India as an emerging world economy ( Poonam., 2018 ).…”

“…Specifically, the major CHTMs, such as cobalt and palladium, are contained in waste feature phones, while antimony, beryllium, praseodymium, neodymium, and platinum are also contained in waste smartphones ( Cucchiella et al, 2015 ). Despite being a relatively rich country in terms of mineral resources, India’s dependence on imported minerals is high, next only to oil ( Randive and Jawadand, 2019 ). Therefore, waste cellphones represent a potential crucial reservoir of CHTMs for urban mining in future decades.…”
